What is IPv6World.Asia?

About the need for IPv6

IPv4 has approximately four billion IP addresses (the sequence of numbers assigned to each Internet-connected device). The explosion in the number of people, devices and web services on the Internet means that IPv4 is running out of space. IPv6, the new Internet protocol, which provides many billion times bigger address space, will connect the billions of people not connected today and will help ensure the Internet can continue to grow at an ever increasing rate.

Objective

With IPv4 addresses running out this year, the industry must act quickly to do full IPv6 adoption or risk not being able to communicate with growing number of Internet users who have IPv6 addresses only. We should help, not only motivate companies to prepare their services for IPv6, but also provide assistance and useful information on how to deploy IPv6 effectively and efficiently.  

Target Participants

All companies which are using or providing services via Internet including ISPs, content providers, cloud services providers, large enterprises and SMEs.  CIOs/CTOs & Network/Systems Managers/Engineers.
