[Community-Discuss] IPv6 Chapter 254

[Andrew Alston]

Hi Willy,

Just as a matter of interest.

I deployed IPv6 to a university a few years ago (I think this was around 4 years ago?) – end to end – every single host on the network with v6, and connecting to the outside world via a proxy server that was also v6 enabled.

Today – their v6 utilization by measurement of APNIC on that ASN is close to 100% (Because they hit every single measurement point with v6).

It took a week to deploy the entire lot – but it does show what can be done.

See http://stats.labs.apnic.net/ipv6/AS37501

Thanks

Andrew

     *e) Universities (through REN ?) will realise that they can't deploy on
    their networks only IPv4. It's a shame (in my humble opinion) that our
    universities don't see the need of IPv6. What about their research ?
    what about study of new network behavior ? protocols ? How can they rely
    on this deprecated protocol ? :-\
    We forget that universities are the main place of research and
    innovation ...
