Today most information regarding IPv6 has either the IT- or ICT-managers of organisations or the IPv6 implementors as target audience. They know about IPv4 addresses running out and the advantages of IPv6 in addition to the extended address space. They know the urgency of migration to IPv6 and have seen the graphs of Geoff Huston. They know that migration to IPv6 is not for free and struggle for budget to implement IPv6.

How much is there to gain if we continue to address the IT-managers and IPv6 implementors? Are we preaching for the already converted? Are we barking up the wrong tree?

ICANN 35, 21–26 June 2009, Sydney

I am writing this blog from my Mac (of course) while in the ICANN meeting in Sydney. Important topics for this meeting are iDNs (Internationalised Domain Names), DNSSEC (Secure DNS) and IPv6. I do have IPv6 connectivity here, as the ICANN network is IPv6 enabled. It is an excellent IPv6 connection and access to Google via IPv6 seems to work faster than via IPv4.
