Tan Chin Tuan Room (Level 4) Event Overview
As of 15 April 2011, APNIC has reached the final /8 block of IPv4 adddresses which triggered a very strict delegation policy. This means that we will soon see IPv6 only hosts in Asia Pacific.
To address the depletion of IPv4 addresses, IPv6 was designed to replace IPv4. IPv6 has several technical advantages over IPv4, such as simplifying aspects of network renumbering and improvements in multicasting and routing speeds.
Although both IPv4 and IPv6 traffic can flow over the same physical medium, IPv4-only nodes are not able to communicate directly with IPv6 nodes and vice-versa. The new nodes that are assigned with IPv6 addresses will not be able to reach existing IPv4 resources without transition mechanisms. This will in turn impact the growth of Internet contents and services, the growth of Internet-dependent businesses and business continuity. For smooth transition, concerted actions from various stakeholders in the ecosystem are required.
In this half day seminar, we aim to provide the necessary information with regards to the IPv6 transition mechanisms and the latest updates on the IPv6 Competency Programme. This programme is supported by IDA to help ICT professionals with the funding support on the IPv6 Forum Certified Network Engineer Courses that allows the trainees to build capabilities, deepen their IPv6 technology migration skills and upgrade themselves in the dynamic, competitive and fast changing infocomm industry.
Who Should Attend:
IT professionals who are familiar with the basic concepts of TCP/IP such as IT Managers, Network Engineers, Network Administrators, Network Consultants & Decision Makers who need to acquire basic IPv6 knowledge and understand the opportunities that lies ahead with IPv6.
