Mandated by the Federal Government for compliance across all organizations, IPv6 is a new IP protocol designed to replace IPv4, the Internet protocol that is predominantly deployed and extensively used throughout the world. IPv6 quadruples the number of network address bits from 32 bits (in IPv4) to 128 bits, which provides more than enough globally unique IP addresses for every network device on the planet.

The U.S. Department of Defense declared in 2003 that they would move to IPv6 by the year 2008.  Consequently, the Office of Management and Budget has issued a directive that federal agencies must make the transition to IPv6 by the same year.

In conjunction with Cisco Systems®, World Wide Technology is offering an On Demand educational Web Seminar on IPv6.  This complimentary Webcast will examine critical issues and challenges that federal agencies face in migrating to IPv6 and to gain practical information and tools that will help you accomplish your mission.

Key take away points include:

• Explore the procedures for a smooth transition to IPv6 from network assessment through migration.
• Learn how to execute a detailed network inventory to reveal new equipment needs and the necessary hardware, software, and memory upgrades.
• Understand the importance of a solid development plan.
• Examples of both dual stack and tunnel-based architectures for core, branch, and campus networks.
• Understand the contract purchasing vehicles available to the federal government including ITES-2H and SEWP
