(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) – The American Registry for Internet Numbers (www.arin.net) will be holding IPv6 web hosting session at its public policy meeting, ARIN XXV, next month in Toronto, designed to bring together industry professionals, government representatives, and Internet community leaders together in an open and productive forum.
Happening on the first day of ARIN XXV, which runs from April 18 to 21, 2010 at the InterContinental Toronto Centre, the web hosting session will include presentations describing the current Internet number resource policies as they apply to the web hosting industry, dual stacking (IPv4/IPv6) hosting provider services, and a questions and answers session to gain additional insight regarding the deployment of IPv6.
The slow adoption of IPv6 is quickly becoming a major problem for all businesses and organizations around the globe concerned with their future network operations. The set of IP technical rules that define how devices communicate over a network are currently available in two versions, IPv4 and IPv6. IPv6 includes a modern numbering system that provides a much larger address pool than IPv4 addresses, which are quickly becoming exhausted.
Overseeing the allocation of all Internet number resources, the Number Resource Organization (www.nro.net), the official representative of the five Regional Internet Registries (including ARIN), announced earlier this year that less than 10 percent of available IPv4 addresses remain unallocated, and that they will soon run out.
ARIN’s most recent meeting, ARIN XXIV, was held in Dearborn, Michigan, in October 2009, and the next meeting following Toronto will be held in Atlanta, Georgia, in October 2010.
