Thanks to ISIF Asia and APNIC Foundation!!

It's hard to talk about Internet Protocol Version 6 ( ).

The Internet runs on IP addresses. Much of the world uses IPv4, but there are limited IPv4 addresses available and they're running out. Network Address Translation (NAT) lets us squeeze more out of IPv4, but it isn't always easy. In the long run, making the switch to IPv6 makes it far easier to access to all the IP addresses we could ever need.

The challenge is in persuading and helping organizations to make the switch. The recently completed IPv6 webinar project, by the India Internet Engineering Society (IIESoc), sought to dispel concerns around IPv6 and assist with training. In the process of doing that, they engaged with the National Institute of Technology Karnataka, (NITK Surathkal), who were involved in a tricky IPv6 deployment project.

The Foundation was pleased to be able to also support NITK Surathkal in that ongoing project. We love seeing ISIF Asia grantees working together!

IPv6 Extension Headers are an important part of the IPv6 protocol. In this session, we will learn:

What are the frequently-used Extension Headers?
What is the basic architecture?
How are they used?
What is the nature of the controversy surrounding them?
We will also present the results of our testing of IPv6 Extension Headers on the Internet and next steps.

The speaker will be Nalini Elkins, President of Industry Network Technology Council.

IIESoc recently sponsored Ameya Deshpande, a student from NIT Karnataka, Surathkal to attend IETF 113 in Vienna, as part of an ISIF Asia supported project around deployment.

The technical report for Phase one of the IPv6 deployment in Enterprises project is now available on the ISIF Asia blog.

Pictured is Ameya at his first IETF meeting in Vienna (19-25 March 2022) with Nalini Elkins, Michael Ackermann, and Tommaso Pecorella.
