Hurricane Electric's Director of IPv6 Strategy to Moderate Carrier Panel at the Inter-Agency IPv6 Meeting
Type: News

Hurricane Electric, a global IPv6-native Internet backbone and colocation provider, announced that its Director of IPv6 Strategy, Martin Levy, will moderate a panel of tier-1 carriers at the Inter- Agency IPv6 Meeting taking place February 2-3 at the VHA National Conference Center in the Crystal City area of Arlington, Virginia.

On February 3, at 8:30 a.m., Martin will be joined by IP architects from some of the largest carriers including Craig Pierantozzi, Principal Architect at Level 3 Communications, Peter Fernandez, Staff Network Engineer at Qwest, and Dr. Daniel Awduche, Fellow (PMTS), Network Technology at Verizon, for a panel discussion of network carriers' roadmaps, plans, schedules and status relating to IPv6 support.
At 9:30 a.m., the panel will pause to watch the webcast of the Global Internet Groups press conference in Miami, Florida. The webcast will discuss the allocation of the final remaining IPv4 /8 address blocks to regional internet registries.

Two recent events illustrate why the federal government is at a critical juncture with respect to IPv6 support. The first is the announcement that the last remaining IPv4 /8 address blocks have been allocated. The second is last year's White House directive that all federal agencies natively support IPv6 on public-facing servers by 2012 and on internal client applications by 2014.

The Inter-Agency IPv6 Meetings are sponsored by the Veterans Administration and hosted by the VA IPv6 Steering Committee. The conference is intended to promote the exchange of IPv6 best practices, guidelines and wisdom among representatives of federal agencies.
