The benefits of deploying IPv6 only

A panel of network engineers from Comcast, APNIC, T-Mobile, and Facebook discuss the performance benefits and practicalities of deploying IPv6-only networks.

Speakers: John Jason Brzozowski, Comcast Geoff Huston, APNIC. Gaurav Madan, T-Mobile USA Inc. Paul Saab Use of IPv6 is gaining momentum. For some companies it is the primary IP version of choice to run their businesses and to deliver products and services to their customers. The depletion of globally routable IPv4 and private IPv4 address space has prompted many technology firms to look at the use of IPv6 while abandoning support for IPv4 in some parts of their networks. Additionally, and perhaps, more interestingly IPv6 has been rumored to outperform IPv4. New data is available from more diverse adopters that further substantiates these claims. Come hear the following as part of this panel: * Facebook will share information about their IPv6 only efforts including the data they are seeing comparing IPv4 and IPv6 performance. * Comcast will share how they are using IPv6 only for their next generating entertainment operating system as well as IPv6 differences compared to IPv4. * T-Mobile will share information about the deployment of IPv6 only across their mobile network which minimally includes lessons learned and techniques to ensure IPv4 content continues to be reachable. Other participants may be added in advance of the actual panel session. Akamai and LinkedIn have both been invited. - See more at: nanog.org/meetings/nanog64/agenda#sthash.Dz9Xz6Qx.dpuf
