Title: Getting started with IPv6
Proposer: Jim Hague
Type: Tutorial
Duration: 90 mins
Description:
The global pool of IPv4 addresses is exhausted, and the regional pools are running low. The pressures driving towards IPv6 are building. The device which runs your applications is almost certainly IPv6 capable. But what about your applications? What do you need to know about IPv6? What changes do you make need to make to your application to have it work over IPv6? How do you set up an IPv6 network so you can test?

This session attempts to answer all these questions. We'll convert an existing IPv4-only application to work with IPv6, then set up a IPv6 network with globally routable addresses and test the conversion.
