The workshop will cover:
Issues surrounding the current standard of Internet Protocol version
4
(IPv4) and how it limits the number of Internet Protocol (IP) addresses available globally. This lack of potential access will threaten all other efforts to bridge the digital divide.
Someone should tell these people that we are not running out of IPv4 addresses any time soon, and that the real pressing issue is how you make the routing system scale (an issue which IPv6 does not attempt to address).
The need for policy makers, regulators, and decision makers in APEC economics to be familiar with issues in moving from IPv4 to IPv6 including transition, operation, financial impact, applications, security, and quality of service issues.
Now *that* would be an interesting argument to hear, unless their
Actually, the problem is with ISPs who do not want to fill out the paperwork RFC 2050 and the RIRs require. Paperwork that any reasonable ISP will do to keep track of who has what address. There is a belief that IPv6 will bypass RFC2050 and the RIR process. Strange as that sounds, it is what I'm running into. BTW - Check out the RIR update slides at this week's NANOG. The graphically illustrates that RFC2050, the constituent lead RIR model, and reclaiming legacy A allocations are working. point
is that there is no need whatsoever for policy makers and regulators to even know what IPv6 is.
