-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Sorry for not introducing the presentation earlier. Just finished teaching another IPv6 class and it kept me busy :) And thanks William for sending this note to get me off my behind to tell you a bit more about it :)
My presentation will be a bit different then what I did last year. I will do a bit of a generic IPv6 intro (maybe 10 slides) but then do more of a hands on / demo about how IPv6 works and not works in Linux. With IPv4, we had about 30 years of operational experience. With IPv6, we are about 5 years into that. So there is still a lot of "uncovered ground". Features nobody has been really experimented with outside of a lab, and just a plain lot of bugs. In the end, the decision wether or not you will use IPv6 depends on what services will be offered with it. But for a lot of companies, new customers and new services will have to come via IPv6. I will try to setup IPv6 connectivity (not sure if it will work. will there be a wired network access I can plug a router into? ). On Jun 20, 2011, at 5:54 PM, William L.
