RIPE NCC Open House: IPv6-Only Networks
Tuesday, 4 May | 08:00 - 09:30 UTC | 10:00 - 11:30 CEST
What are the challenges when deploying an IPv6-only network and what has the experience been like?
It's been a while now since the RIPE NCC reached the end of its IPv4 address pool. The only way to get more IPv4 space now is through transfers. It isn't cheap and background checks are always required to make sure the IPv4 address space is usable. For most new networks that want to connect to the Internet and the existing networks that plan to grow in the future, IPv6 is becoming the best option. For some operators, it’s the only option! IPv6-only networks are becoming more common.
Join us for this RIPE NCC Open House with two IPv6 experts who know all about deploying IPv6-only solutions - Jordi Palet from The IPv6 Company and Richard Patterson from Sky UK. They will talk about their experiences with 464XLAT and MAP as transition mechanisms to connect their IPv6-only networks with the existing IPv4 Internet.
Jordi and Richard will answer your questions about the challenges and lessons learned during their deployments.
