New standards must be adopted by content providers in order for the Internet to continue growing and evolving. The IPv4 address pool is quickly depleting and we must deploy IPv6. It is no longer a realistic expectation to publish content only on the IPv4 Internet and expect everyone to be able to access it. As IPv4 depletes, users are being connected to the Internet using IPv6 address space. We must ensure all content is available via both IPv4 and IPv6 for the foreseeable future in order for it to be visible to all users.
Additionally, the DNS Security Extensions (DNSSEC) provide a way to ensure that users and customers are correctly connecting to your sites and services instead of to someone else pretending to offer your same services. Understanding how to secure your domain is critical!
It is our intent to feature the most current and relevant deployment resources and supplement them with newly created deployment articles by the Internet Society where information gaps exist. If you know of a resource you would like featured here, or have recommendations on new resources that can be created to help with deployment, please give us your feedback.
For basic information about IPv6 or DNSSEC, please see the menu options on the left or browse the list of resources for IPv6 and DNSSEC. We have received feedback indicating a desire for the following questions to be answered with resource information for content providers. We are currently (1Q 2012) in the process of curating and creating additional resources to answer these questions. Please check back here soon.
IPv6
How can I quickly make my content available over IPv6?
- Use a hosting provider that supports IPv6
- Use a content delivery network (CDN) that supports IPv6
- Use a relay/proxy service
Are there case studies available about content providers that have deployed IPv6?
- Please see the IPv6 Case Studies page
How can I set up an IPv6 test lab?
- Please see the IPv6 Basics page
DNSSEC
How can DNSSEC make my content more secure?
- Please see the DNSSEC Basics page
What browsers and other clients support DNSSEC? (i.e. who will use it if I sign my domain?)
- Please see the DNSSEC Basics page
What other uses might DNSSEC have?
