FTA - "Lumeta, the leading provider of
network assurance solutions for enterprises and government agencies, and
Command Information, the premier provider of next generation Internet
services, today announced a partnership focused on delivering next-generation
network management and security solutions to federal agencies. Specifically,
the partnership will deliver solutions focused on the Networx Transition
Assessment, which formally addresses the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
mandates for Networx, the Trusted Internet Connection (TIC) initiative, and
IPv6 adoption.
Agencies are required to develop transition plans related to these
initiatives. The first step is to conduct a complete analysis of current asset
inventory and connectivity across the network and to clearly define
operational needs. Leveraging Lumeta's IPsonar, Command Information
consultants can quickly assess an agency's current network environment. With
this analysis in hand, they are then able to provide recommendations on how to
strengthen network change strategies, address security weaknesses and help
agencies manage, control, and refine policies and standards in regards to
existing and future network security."

FTA - "OPNET recently released a new IPv6 Planning and Operations module with several facilities for facilitating IPv6 implementations. This module is an add-on to its IT Guru Network Planner and SP Guru Network Planner modeling applications. (The IT Guru and SP Guru are functionally identical with the exception that the Service Provider version can model MPLS.)
As you might expect, the IPv6 module adds IPv6 network modeling capabilities. But it also provides some interesting tools (OPNET calls them "Wizards") that address specific IPv6 implementation challenges: The IPv6 Readiness Assessment Wizard and the IPv6 Migration Wizard."

FTA - "Red Hat (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading provider of open source solutions, today announced that Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2 has received Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) Special Interoperability Certification from the Defense Information System Agency (DISA) in accordance with the Department of Defense (DoD) IPv6 Master Test Plan. The certification demonstrates Red Hat's ongoing commitment to meeting the growing demands of government agencies and enterprises as they adapt to the next-generation Internet.
The DoD IPv6 product certification program began as a mandate from the DoD's CIO and Assistant Secretary of Defense for Networks and Information Integration (ASD-NII) who targeted FY08 as a target IPv6 transition completion date for the DoD. The IPv6 Special Interoperability Certification for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2 was conducted by the Joint Interoperability Test Command (JITC), which evaluates vendor products and DoD systems as IPv6 Capable.
With the certification, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2 has been certified for the DoD's Unified Capabilities Approved Products List (UC APL) for an IPv6 capable Host and Workstation and IPv6 capable Advanced Server. The certification ensures that Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2 meets the DoD's set of mandated requirements, appropriate to its Product Class, necessary for it to interoperate with other IPv6 products employed in DoD IPv6 networks.
"Receiving the DoD's IPv6 capable certification serves as strong validation of Red Hat's ability to deliver solutions that meet demanding requirements," said Paul Smith, vice president of Government Operations at Red Hat. "Our continued support of standards and rigorous testing means that our federal government customers can confidently and quickly transition to the next-generation Internet with Red Hat Enterprise Linux."

What??!!?? ... and our march for Dhimmitude continunes, FTA - "Workers at the Tyson Foods poultry processing plant in Shelbyville will no longer have a paid day off on Labor Day but will instead be granted the Muslim holiday Eid al-Fitr.
According to a news release from the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union, a new five-year contract at the plant included the change to accommodate Muslim workers at the plant.
Tyson's director of media relations Gary Mickelson said the contract includes eight paid holidays -- the same number as the old contract."

FTA - "IPv6 visibility is "moderately critical," said Phil Hochmuth, senior analyst for Yankee Group. "It's something that's on everyone's checklist. In any government organization, it's going to be a bit higher priority because of the federal mandates they have around IPv6, but it's something ... everyone is going to have to have in the future and everyone will have support for it eventually, whether they are network equipment makers or network management software makers. It's better to do it sooner rather than later."
Broad adoption of IPv6, the new version of Internet Protocol, is still a few years away, but experts have been urging enterprises to pave the way for a smooth migration now by having IPv6-ready infrastructure in place or by ensuring that the networking team has sufficient skills for rolling out and managing an IPv6 network. Network managers who can see IPv6 adoption on the horizon may want to ask their preferred network management and monitoring vendors what their plans are for IPv6."

"And people have responded all across the country. We are now in a position where the odds of us winning are very good. But it's still going to be difficult.""

A Subtle Shift in Thinking About IPv4/IPv6 Coexistence Solutions | NetworkWorld.…

FTA - "Most anyone that considers IPv6 implementation and proposes implementation solutions looks at it in terms of IPv4/IPv6 coexistence. When the IPv6-capable devices in a network are dual stacked, coexistence is relatively simple: The dual stack devices can speak to both IPv4-only and IPv6-only devices. The problem with dual stacks is that they require both an IPv4 and an IPv6 address, and that misses the fundamental point that we're deploying IPv6 because we are quickly approaching a time when IPv4 addresses are no longer available. Dual stacking would have been the right approach to transition five years ago, but it is less and less viable as new IPv4 addresses become unavailable.
Dual stacking is still the right approach to existing devices that already have IPv4 addresses and can acquire a new IPv6 address (either with existing capabilities or via a software upgrade), but its not a good solution for new devices and networks that require new addresses.
The larger problem is how to make IPv4-only and IPv6-only devices speak to each other. That requires translation, a prickly problem in terms of complexity, scalability, and security."
