IPv6: The Bottom Line
Melbourne, 7-9 December 2009
In complex economic times it's the bottom line that really matters...



IPv6Forum Downunder has been closely involved in IPv6 activities in Australia, including:
  • IPv6 for e-Business - providing documents, tools and awareness on IPv6 for Australian business
  • Australian IPv6 Summits - previous Australian IPv6 conferences, 2005 to 2007
  • IPv6Now - a business offering commercial IPv6 tunnels with SLAs and a dual-stack server for web hosting
There are a number of ways to estimate the current levels of IPv4 addresses and predicted time of exhaustion, but they are in generally good agreement with each other. This is Intec NetCore, Inc.'s IPv4 Exhaustion Counter.
