[apnic-talk] IIESoc's IPv6 Deployment at Enterprise Project

Hi,

ISIF Asia announced the grants for 2020 Internet Operations Research last month. As one of the recipients, we wanted to introduce our organization and the project, as well as to request interested folks to sign up.

Project sign up HERE!

The India Internet Engineering Society (IIESoc), is a non-profit that brings together different stakeholders from the computer networking community across industry, academia, service providers, and government. It exists to further the adoption of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) standards and increase awareness & participation in the IETF from the subcontinent. IIESoc has been organizing an annual pre-IETF event in India called Connections and regular meetups called RFCsWeLove. We will work collaboratively with the Industry Network Technology Council (INTC) to address the issue of IPv6 adoption at large brick-and-mortar enterprises in the Asia Pacific region.

IPv6 adoption at large, brick-and-mortar enterprises has lagged. Many feel that unless this issue is addressed, the Internet as a whole will stall at an IPv6 adoption rate of about 60%. There are many subsidiaries of large corporations in India. Such organizations primarily use IPv4 addresses. For example, one of the largest mobile providers in India, whose backbone is IPv6, has had to purchase IPv4 addresses on the open market simply to support these corporations. We aim to work towards increasing IPv6 deployment in the Asia Pacific region. The news of the grant with a call for participation was covered by some of the leading outlets - Business Standard, Yahoo News, ANI, etc.

If you wish to be involved with this project, please sign up HERE. We are seeking enterprises with a presence in the Asia-Pacific region or people with an interest in IPv6 deployment. We will be announcing our IPv6 webinar schedule shortly.

If you have comments, questions, or wish to get involved with the work of IIESoc, please contact info@iiesoc.in.

Thanks!
