About IPv6 |
|
The Internet runs today on the IPv4 protocol predominantly. The IPv4 protocol uses a 32bit addressing scheme, and thus insufficient for today booming Internet world. In this internet age, where every electronic device is IP enabled, we have already ran out of IPv4 address resources. The solution to this problem is to move on to the next level of addressing scheme of the Internet Protocol, called the IPv6. IPv6 uses a 128bit addressing scheme, thus enabling it to address the Internet for decades to come. IPv6 is also adapts to the new requirement of the internet world, and makes it easier for address assignments to smart devices of the future. |
In India, the DoT has provided a Roadmap for all Internet service providers to be IPv6 compliant by the first quarter of 2012. An IPv6 Task Force has been formed to oversee and coordinate the activity.
We at Asianet Satellite Communications, has always been in the forefront in adopting newer technology for the benefit of our customers. We are in the process of deployment of IPv6 for our customers. We already have started trial runs on our network, and expect to comply with the national IPv6 roadmap.
