Exploring IPv6

Our speaker, George A. Sullivan, presents an overview of the IPv6 protocol now emerging as the connectivity method of choice for Internet of Things (IoT), cloud computing, and mobile device radio access networks.

IPv6 is examined from a perspective of the 7 universal questions including who, what where, when, why, how, and how much. The protocol is broken down into its constituent fields and explanations of what they are for, and how they work.

The presentation also shows how IPv6 fits into the layered network reference model and technologies coming into use as the Internet expands its global reach with billions of devices coming on line in the next few years.
