The second Australian IPv6 Summit will take place in Canberra, 4-6 December 2006

First Australian IPv6 Summit

Canberra ACT Australia
Mon 31 October - Tue 1 November 2005

The IPv6 Summit was a great success! Our thanks to everyone involved in speaking, organising, attending and supporting the event.

The presentations are now available here.

Internet Protocol Version 6 is a backwards-compatible replacement for the current Internet protocol, IPv4, which will provide inbuilt mobility, quality, manageability and security. The available address space will rise from about 4 x 10⁹ to 3 x 10³⁸ unique IP addresses, allowing for nearly unlimited numbers of systems and networks. Large-scale deployment of Ipv6 is being planned now in Asia, North America and Europe - the US Department of Defense aims to transition all of its networking to IPv6 by 2008.

Get Ready to Move to the New Internet Based on IPv6: The IPv6 Forum has released a new study on Internet address space consumption by Tony Hain, (speaker at this Summit) which shows that the remaining IPv4 address pool is on course for rapid exhaustion. A Pragmatic Report on IPv4 Address Space Consumption includes a debate with other senior Internet experts and their recommendations.

Which sectors will be affected by IPv6?

• Research and education networks
• Defence forces and industry
• Numbering and addressing organisations
• Transition technology strategists
• Convergence technologies like VoIP and ENUM
• Government, health and education
• Banking and security organisations
• Mobility and sensor network technologists
• Regional and rural interest groups
• Computer and network service providers
• New technology end-users and consumers
• Operations, administration and management

Australian organisations must position themselves to take advantage of the opportunities IPv6 offers to innovative users of the Internet and developers of new technology.
