What is the new protocol IPv6 and how does it differ between the now depleted IPv4 address scheme? This session is for you if you’ve heard about IPv6 but are looking for more information on what it means for you, your network and how to prepare for it. Maybe you’d like to take the first steps for including it into your home, your business network and eventually become a member of the IPv6 internet.
We’ll review a brief history of the two protocols IPv4 and IPv6 and their differences. What software and hardware platforms are ready for IPv6, which ones might never be. Next we’ll move onto various methods for including IPv6 into your home network as a Tunnel over your existing IPv4 ISP connection. Best of all, you likely already have the hardware you’ll need. You just need to know where to get the FREE accounts and scripts. From here we’ll explore some options for including this new protocol into your business networks via both software and hardware based options from vendors.
