Title: Cable Systems and IPv6
Presenter: A. Durand
Abstract: How to manage a network with 100+ million IP addresses in the next few
years? When Net10 does not cut it anymore, the sensible answer for
Comcast is IPv6. Comcast is one of the first operators to adopt IPv6 as
a strategic activity with an aggressive roll-out plan. In its initial
phase, this plan focuses on the management and operation of
Comcast-operated devices such as cable modems and set-top boxes. Key
architectural choices to reduce the complexity of the overall
deployment are presented and lessons learned in this deployment are
discussed
Title: The Cost of Not Deploying IPv6
Presenter: Jordi Palet
Abstract: The extensive usage of NAT in IPv4 already imply additional costs
related to
network operation and management. In addition to that, not deploying
IPv6
could soon become an additional cost factor, which should be taken in
consideration. The talk will explain why not deploying IPv6 could bring
additional costs and what simple measures could be taken to minimize
that
cost, not necessarily doing a complete IPv6 deployment across an entire
network in case it is not feasible, but by means of smaller steps
such a few
transition mechanisms.
