IT Dojo: Answers to five questions about IPv6 [video]
The switch from IPv4 to IPv6 is a hot topic on TechRepublic. If you’re still unsure what this change really means, stay tuned. In this IT Dojo video, Bill Detwiler shares answers from industry experts to five basic IPv6 questions.
Since TechRepublic members had lots of questions about Ip-v-6, Michael Kassner, one of our Network Administration bloggers, interviewed experts at the American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) and Command Information–a private company which provides Internet services. We’ve used the material from those interviews for this video.
For those of you who prefer text to video, you can click the Transcript link that appears below the video player window. For more information on IPv6, check out the following downloads and articles from Kassner and others:
