IPv6 are you ready?

Once again Seattle leads the pack in internet technology. Check out this article from the Seattle Times about a new company called Zama Networks which was founded by the founders of F5. Cool stuff!!!

Not yet, but I'm hopin' to be at least CCNP & maybe CCIE certified by the time it hits.

There will likely be some SERIOUS money to be made.

Side Note:

Viper, are you taking classes for the Cisco certs?

 

[Viper GTS]

Not yet, but I'm planning on it. I do LAN tech support, so I figure that'll be a help. I have a CCNA book that I'm going to start going through tomorrow (I have a 12 hour shift, & I'll be lucky if I take 2 calls all day).

right on, on the job is the best way to learn. I am kinds lucky I have a Cisco academy near where I live.

If I had the money I'd enroll in a local college that has a CCNA course. It's only $5,000, but it might as well be $500,000. I simply don't have the money. Hell, I volunteered to work 12 days straight just to get 24 hours of OT. I need the money.

WOW, the one near me is only $3,000 for the whole thing, so $1,000 a quater. Also, my shool offers CCNP training as well.

IM READY!!! I CANT WAIT FOR THE NEXT GEN!!!

 

[azazyel]

I have hear that it will be so fast that you will be able to transmit holographic images like in Star Wars. Another rumor is that one of the founders is actually working on a device to do that.

WTF? Since when does speed have anything to do with IPv6? I thought it was strictly to increase the number of available IP addresses...

I HAVE to play a game of counter-strike on that big monitor setup the guy has.

<< The Zama network will use advanced internetworking technologies including Internet Protocol version six (IPv6), QoS routing, dynamic class of service (CoS) routing, redundancy, and LAN/WAN scalability. These technologies will allow customers to develop and deploy new applications and services, including those that rely heavily upon video, audio and interactivity, and therefore require end-to-end quality of service. Zama will enable these next-generation Internet applications and services and will become the multimedia network of choice for the future. >>



Check out their site. An increase in address would be a giant step but that is just to get it out on the market. There are a lot of other uses for this. As far as speed check out the section on Multicast and Anycast.
