IPV6 Conference June 24-27

Posted by timothy on from the ip-numbers-as-door-prizes dept.

John Sokol writes "IPv6 is the 'next-generation' protocol designed by the IETF to replace the current version Internet Protocol, IP Version 4 ('IPv4'). This years big conference on it will be in San Diego from June 24-27. See the North American Global IPV6 Summit site. I hear rumor DARPA will be making a big announcement there."

    What did you hear they would announce?

    That there is no need for IPv6? That the so-called IP shortage was mostly fabricated?

      Other possibilities...
      • That they have IP rights on IP and are going to charging per-packet royalties?
      • That TIA is functioning perfectly and has identified 100% of internet users as potential terrorists?
      • That withdrawing the funding of OpenBSD was because only terrorists use anything other than windows?
      I can hardly wait.

    As a coincidence, the year 2427 is also when IPV6 will be finally implemented.
