Title: IPv6 - The Future of Internet Infrastructure
Abstract:

With the depletion of IPv4 address space and the growing need for all devices to be connected to the Internet, the transition to IPv6 is inevitable. But what this transition will involve and how long it will take is not yet fully clear.

Axel Pawlik, Managing Director of the RIPE NCC, will present on the current state of IPv4 depletion and the level of IPv6 adoption in the RIPE NCC service region. He will also explain the commonly-used IPv6 transition mechanisms, best current practices in address planning and what impact the transition to IPv6 will have for network operators in the future.

Axel Pawlik is the Managing Director of the RIPE Network Coordination Centre (RIPE NCC).

Axel graduated from the University of Dortmund, Germany, with a Masters Degree in Computer Science. He was later employed at the University of Dortmund from 1985 to 1992, where he contributed to the establishment of UNIX networking as a publicly available service in Germany. This institution introduced Internet access services to the business community and general public.

From 1987-1991, he also served as a member of the Board of the German Unix Users Group (GUUG).

Understanding the demand for a commercial operation to provide Internet services, Axel founded EUnet Deutschland GmbH in 1992 and commercialised the operation. Under his leadership, EUnet Deutschland GmbH became the market leader in Germany and one of the strongest EUnet networks in Europe.
