24 Jan, 2003
Attended 3rd Global IPv6 Summit today. It was the third and colcuding day of the event. I could not go for the first 2 days. Even though as it was a technical event, I went just to keep a tab on whats happening in this field and to meet people. There's going to be HUGE business opportunities in very near future (3-5 years) because of this transition from IPv4 to IPv6. And transition is bound to happen. In the first decade (or so) of Intenet's public existence, already 70% of IPs have been used up. We are left with only 30% of total IPv4 available IPs. Of course, that itself is a huge number. But considering the exponential rate of consumption of IP addresses, it wont be long before it becomes crucial to move to a system (IPv6) which allows for many more addresses (for every machine, device etc). Take-away from the conference was quite substantial.
