Just sharing. I thought some of you might be interested in what NDSU is going to be doing in honor of tomorrow. Theresa Semmens, CISA Chief IT Security Officer North Dakota State University IACC 210D PO Box 6050 Fargo, ND 58108 Phone: 701-231-5870 Cell Phone: 701-212-2064 Fax: 701-231-8541 Theresa.Semmens () ndsu edu [cid:image001.gif@01CC2512.7DEFFA60] Security is a process, privacy is a consequence Security is action, privacy is a result of successful action Security is the strategy, privacy is the outcome Security is the sealed envelope, privacy is the successful delivery of the message inside the envelope ~ Kevin Beaver & Rebecca Herold NDSU Participates in World-wide IPv6 Day On 8 June, 2011, Google, Facebook, Yahoo!, Akamai and Limelight Networks will be amongst some of the major organizations that will offer their content over IPv6 for a 24-hour "test flight." The goal of the Test Flight Day is to motivate organizations across the industry - Internet service providers, hardware makers, operating system vendors and web companies - to prepare their services for IPv6 to ensure a successful transition as IPv4 addresses run out. NDSU's network has fully supported IPv6 since 2008. NDSU will connect to this global event using IPv6 protocol from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Wednesday, June 8 in the EML 170 videoconference classroom on campus. Feel free to stop by or visit with those involved in NDSU's connection to this event. For more information on NDSU's preparation for conversion to IPv6, please contact Bruce Curtis, IT Senior Network Engineer bruce.curtis () ndsu edu<mailto:bruce.curtis () ndsu edu> or Daniel Erichsen, Interactive Media Specialist Daniel.erichsen () ndsu edu Learn about IPv6 With the rapid growth of the Internet through the 1990's, there was a rapid reduction in the number of free IP addresses available under IPv4, which was never designed to scale to these levels. In order to get more addresses, you need more bits, which means a longer IP address, which means a new architecture, which means changes to all of the routing software. In other words, a major change on which everyone needs to agree, and does not come about quickly. After examining a number of proposals, the IETF settled on IPv6, recommended in January 1995 in RFC 1752, sometimes also referred to as the Next Generation Internet Protocol, or IPng. Since then, a number of organizations, such as the IPv6 Forum, have been working towards its widespread implementation. By 2004, IPv6 was widely available from industry and supported by most new network equipment. Practical feedback began to be received from experience with integration with existing networks.
