Our fourth report has been published. It presents “the findings of a benchmark of the visibility of IPv6 commercial offerings. The goal of the benchmark was to evaluate the presence and quality of IPv6 commercial offering to the general public in selected European countries. The methodology concentrated on an evaluation of publicly available information to better represent the scope of the actual deployment beyond limited pilots and the associated efforts of the ISP for providing end user technical support and a clear schedule of their deployment. The report concludes that the actual commercial deployment seems to be slowly debuting but is for now still limited.”

This new report is available at the following URL: http://www.ipv6observatory.eu/?post_type=report&p=1142 

A new server has been added to our v6DEMON tool in order to test IPv6 from an additional location: China. Indeed, a server from our partner BII has been added. First results appear in latency figures.

After three very successful editions, the 4th European Summit on the Future Internet, jointly organised by SNT and TICE.PT, seeks to provide a forum for exchange and discussion for Internet practitioners. Presentations and discussions will focus on some of the most core issues with which the Internet of tomorrow will be confronted. At a time of massive data proliferation, of major economic uncertainty, of growing cyber threats and of rampant deindustrialization, understanding what Europe should plan for be in R&D or policy terms, becomes vital. By joining us you will have the opportunity to confront your views with those of the speakers, thereby contributing to inventing the future Internet.

IoT is a subcommittee of the Emerging Technologies Committee led by Andrea Goldsmith

The objective of this subcommittee is to facilitate a global definition of IOT architecture and governance; investigate the sensitive security and privacy issues; and explore the different technology scenarios and impacts when enabling Internet protocols over the emerging generations of IoT devices and networks in order to reach harmonization and end to end transparency through IPv6 (for this purpose, this TC will be supported by IPv6 Forum www.ipv6forum.org).

Now is the Time for IPv6

Organised by Scott Hogg, Chair RMv6TF 

April 17-19, 2013

Grand Hyatt Denver Colorado

http://www.conference.cn/ipv6/2013/en/  Date: April 11-12, 2013  Venue: Hotel Nikko New Century Beijing  Endorsed by CNGI (China Next Generation Internet) Expert Committee, China three major carriers & CERNET, and co-hosted by IPv6 Forum & BII Group. This event organised by Liu Dong, Chair IPv6 Forum China

A slot will be dedicated to the IPv6 Observatory study: BII, member of the consortium, will present results after year 1.

We are now testing HTTP latency (e.g. IPv6 HTTP latency versus IPv4) against all datasets:

• eu_27
• extra_top_500
• univ
• gov_eu27
