Ep. 107 Government’s Journey to IPV6 – What it Means for Agencies
Getting exhausted after 4, 294,967,296 addresses.
If you have been around federal technology for the last fifteen years, you have heard people warning ad infinitum about what happens when we run out of IPv4 IP addresses. Somehow, we humans have managed to take the existing IPv4 system and apply duct tape and wire to make it endure.
Listen to today’s interview to hear the clarion call about IPv6. The federal government is finally getting serious about systems being compliant with IPv6. There is a wake-up call to have 50% compliance by 2025.
In November of 2020 the OMB issues memorandum M-21-07 which details the strategic intent to operate its networks and access the services of others using only IPv6.
Today’s interview focuses on many of the observations to this transition made by Robert Sears. He is the chair of the federal IPv6 Task Force. He leads the efforts to get agencies together and try to bring folks to discuss various topics on technology, transition, planning, and we also work with the private sector to help them understand how they can help the government meet its requirements to move to IPv6.
Robert Sears provides guidance with the technical as well as the regulatory impact of this transition. He makes the sage observation that the noble goals from fifteen years ago can finally be accomplished with the powerful new tolls available.
Cricket Liu expands the discussion to include consideration of applications. Federal leaders must realize some legacy applications may not be prepared to run over IPv6.
Listen to the discussion to see the weakness of the current dual mode of operating and learn best practices to make the transition.
