Government

As you may know, June 8th is going to be an important day for the Internet!

It is World IPv6 Day : http://isoc.org/wp/worldipv6day/

This day for 24 hours, most of the majors content providers will enable IPv6 on their front door.

www.cisco.com is going to be one of these web sites that will be reachable on IPv6 Internet, among 100’s of others globally, including Google, Facebook, Yahoo, Bing, Akamai and many more. You can see the complete list of participants here.

Notably, many of the Federal Government Agencies are also participating such as:

National Library of Medicine		www.nlm.nih.gov
United States Federal Aviation Administration		www.faa.gov
National Telecommunications and Information Administration		www.ntia.doc.gov
United States Office of Personnel Management		buffalo.feb.gov sanantonio.feb.gov newmexico.feb.gov cincinnati.feb.gov minnesota.feb.gov pittsburgh.feb.gov detroit.feb.gov philadelphia.feb.gov houston.feb.gov newark.feb.gov www.lmrcouncil.gov www.pmf.gov www.usalearning.gov
National Technical Information Service		www.ntis.gov
United States Census Bureau		www.census.gov
ISACA		www.isaca.org www.itgi.org www.takinggovernanceforward.org
US Department of Veterans Affairs		www.va.gov

Cisco has been very much leading the industry through this transition. The TAC (technical Assistance Center) and the service organization will support both the planning phase of World IPv6 Day, as well as providing customer support.

Government has been at the forefront of IPv6, and should continue to take the lead on this effort. Please read our whitepaper on the subject (you have to register) and check out our Federal IPv6 Site.

And I’ll make this offer -- any Government Agency that would like to participate in World IPv6 Day but needs a little help through the transition, please write me directly and we’ll get you lots of help.
