IPv6:
How the rest of the world lives
Federal Computer Week looks at developments in three countries -- Canada, France
and Japan -- representing a wide range of IPv6 development and deployment.
A 360-degree view of IPv6
As the June deadline for having a backbone for the new protocol approaches, Federal Computer Week, Government Computer News and Washington Technology assess where agencies are in meeting the goal. Each publication will take a different angle: FCW will concentrate on the elevator speech, a pitch feds can give senior executives to get IPv6 awareness and support; GCN will look at allocating new IP addresses; and WT will focus on how IPv6 is going to affect system integrators and their government customers.

FCW
Forum: Will you be ready for IPv6?
There are less than six months to go until agencies need to implement the new
IP on their networks, but NIST only recently issued a final draft profile
of the conformance testing process vendors must go through.
