Implementing IPv6:
Experiences and Lessons from the Real World
To keep up with the explosive growth for connected devices and the insatiable demand for IP space, the world must migrate from rapidly dwindling IPv4 addresses to the virtually limitless address space of IPv6. As organizations begin their migration, they are finding the path is not as straightforward as they'd hoped. Network, DNS, and Web server issues can impact the user experience in this period of transition. Without proper planning, organizations can find their reporting, or worse yet, their security, compromised.
The World IPv6 Launch event is scheduled for June 6th 2012. In preparation, Akamai has enabled its distributed platform to support a dual-stack architecture and has also enabled IPv6 access for hundreds of customer websites. In this webinar, Akamai's Erik Nygren provides insight into common misconceptions about IPv6 that make planning for migration more challenging. He shares experiences and insights that can help ensure a successful migration.
