• IPv6 – bringing a horse to water..

  Date: 2010.08.24 | Category: Uncategorized, ipv6, networking, tech•ed 2010, wireless | Response: 0

  So you may have seen some press here , here and here around work that we’re doing at teched bringing brave new world of IPv6 to the delegate experience.

  Why are we doing this?

  It’s well know that ipv4 address space is running out, while this is problematic for service providers and telcos – in our opinion it also as just as big a problem for application developers.

  So this is our challenge this year – giving every delegate the chance to experience this first hand. We’ll be giving full native IPv6 addresses for each and every device that can support it.

  We’ve learnt a LOT about the ins and outs of IPv6, those learning will be transparently displayed on this blog as per our normal policy.

  If you’re at Tech.Ed you can check this out by going to http://ip6.me or http://www.v6.facebook.com and see the IP address you get!

  I also hope you’ll enjoy our planned IPv6 celebration hours we’ll have during the event, where only IPv6 will be available on the network!

• We come in peace!

  Your friendly technology team

  Thank you to everyone for the kind feedback on our recent BIGAU presentation both at and after the event. I couldn’t resist including this picture again as a) I love it, and b) it was the only politically correct on in the slide deck (sorry Princess Parker!).

  We’re on site now and work has begun in earnest on provisioning the infrastructure for the event. Jorke and Ben are still in Brisbane busily setting up all of the HP blades for DemoNet and these will ship down to the venue on Wednesday.

  

  Pile of work

  We’re going to try and keep the blog up to date as we build out the network infrastructure – but as always, delivery of the event will take priority.

  If you have any cool ideas for topics you would like to see covered on the blog, post a comment at the end of this article and we’ll see what we can whip up in response.

  Toothless slack-jawed yokels win again

  

  Cisco 4404 Marketing Poster

  Long time readers of this blog (and the tech•ed 2009 team who have to put up with my whinging) will know that we had a significant number of challenges getting the wifi at GCCEC up to a scratch. Today I am happy to announce, however, that we have had a win. The 5508 delivers in the areas the 4404 didn’t. Read the rest of this entry »
