IPv6 - Why You Should Care

I had the opportunity to speak at the Chicago Network Operators Group conference for CHI-NOG 13. As one may imagine, I talked about IPv6, and why folks should care. Now, you’re probably thinking “yeah, yeah, IPv6 has been almost here for 20 years”, and I’d move along and not try to convince you otherwise. However, this talk was slightly different - the whole point was to acknoledge that yes, it’s taking a long time. Yes, enterprises are the long pole in the tent. But no, it’s not almost here. It’a already here, and it’s been here for a decade. Where it isn’t is in the enterprise - and that’s not really a surprise. the talk was very well received, garnering probably the most flattering write up of any talk I have ever given, and by a highly technical author that was in the front row of the talk. you can read that here , which I highly encourage you to do.

If you’re interested, the talk is available on youtube . It’s 30 minutes and I would argue that it makes a pretty compelling argument, if i do say so myself =)
