IP Technologies White Papers

Anyone for IPv6?

Overview IPv6 is the "next generation" suite of protocols that is intended by the Internet Engineering task Force (IETF) to replace (in the fullness of time) the IPv4 protocol suite that currently governs the form of addresses used to identify hosts on the Internet worldwide, governs the composition and format of data packets, and governs many associated networking functions such as neighbour-discovery, sub-netting and aggregation, automatic address assignment and multi-cast transmissions. This paper reviews the technological and economic drivers behind the migration to IPv6, and tries to give some idea as to how adoption of IPv6, both by the research community and generally, will proceed in various parts of the world.

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?
