Network Operators

As predicted years ago, the pool of IPv4 addresses was depleted at the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) in early 2011. For the Internet to continue growing and to satisfy the requirements of additional users, devices, and content, Internet Service Providers and network operators must deploy IPv6. Additionally, as the security of the Domain Name System (DNS) is critical, network operators and ISPs need to understand how they can deploy DNS Security Extensions (DNSSEC).

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 network operators. We are currently (1Q 2012) in the process of curating and creating additional resources to answer these questions. Please check back here soon.

IPv6

What are common issues associated with deploying IPv6 for a network operator?

How do I know if my equipment will support IPv6?

Are there case studies available about network operators that have deployed IPv6?

DNSSEC

What do I need to do to support DNSSEC in my network and for my customers?

Are there tools I can use to test my DNSSEC implementation?
