Course Overview

Internet Resource Management and IPv6

Course description

In the context of the rapidly depleting pool of IPv4 address space and the potential crisis this might pose to the global Internet community, this tutorial will focus on two areas that are particularly relevant and important in understanding this issue.

IRME(Internet resource management essentials) covers the key essentials of Internet resource (address) management. It focuses on understanding the structures, processes, procedures and policies involved in requesting, allocating and managing Internet addresses (IPv4 and IPv6) and AS numbers.

IPv6 is currently considered to be the only comprehensive long-term option mature enough to provide a long-term solution to address depletion. Understanding what IPv6 is, how it functions and how to configure and deploy it, is then of vital importance to ISPs, corporates and content providers. Tis session will provide a fundamental overview of IPv6 and its operation as well as considering questions and issues about its deployment.
