We’re excited to announce the inaugural Applied Networking Research Workshop (ANRW) 2016, which will take place in Berlin on July 16. This one-day workshop will be co-sponsored by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), the Internet Society and the Internet Research Task Force (IRTF).
This academic workshop will provide a forum for researchers, vendors, network operators and the Internet standards community to present and discuss emerging results in applied networking research. Accepted papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library.
The ANRW ’16 particularly encourages the...

IPv6 remains an important aspect of the standardization work within the IETF, with much activity next week at IETF 95 in Buenos Aires. IPv6 deployment hit 10% earlier this year according to Google IPv6 statistics, and whilst other sources such as APNIC Labs and Akamai show slightly lower adoption rates, IPv6 usage continues to grow a steady rate as Regional Internet Registries assign their last remaining IPv4 addresses. There’s also evidence from both the RIRs and commercial transfer market that IPv4 address transfers as well as use of legacy addresses (i.e. those allocated before 1997)...

Time to pack your bags (or fire up your remote participation engine of choice) and get ready for IETF 95! Starting on Sunday, 3 April, the Internet Engineering Task Force will be in Buenos Aires, where more than 1000 engineers will spend a week discussing the latest issues in open standards and protocols. As usual, the Internet Society is providing a ‘Rough Guide’ to the IETF via a series of blog posts on topics of mutual interest:
DNSSEC, DANE, and DNS Security
Routing Resilience and Security
IPv6
Scalability & Performance
Trust, Identity, and Privacy
The Internet of Things...

Members of the Internet Society Asia-Pacific Bureau team - Rajnesh Singh, Amelia Yeo and Naveed Haq (and joined by Kevin Meynell from the Deploy360 Team) - had a super busy and productive week at the APRICOT 2016 conference in Auckland, New Zealand. The Asia Pacific Regional Internet Conference on Operational Technologies (APRICOT) is the premier forum that brings together regional Internet builders and operators to learn from their peers and experts from around the world.
ISOC’s Asia-Pacific Bureau is a long time partner of APRICOT and sponsors the...

As the engineer responsible for IP Address Management at TELUS, I highlighted the risk of IPv4 exhaustion a few years ago, and with support from executives and the great technical strength of our team we have faced the problem head on for both our home Internet service (wireline) and our mobility service (wireless). According to World IPv6 Launch measurements, we’re in the top 10 globally with 44% of the users on our network enabled to use IPv6.
I have some insight I could keep to myself, but I prefer to share because I hope others in the community will find it interesting or even helpful....

Every Monday morning, as a matter of ritual it seems, I check the Google IPv6 adoption graph to see the latest numbers. Today, I was thrilled to see it finally top 10%! That means that 10% (10.41% on January 1, to be precise) of the traffic hitting Google’s servers – a pretty good indicator of overall Internet traffic – is coming from an IPv6 connection.
We consider hitting the 10% mark a major milestone. It was just over a year ago that the number crossed 5%, which we reported at the time. It’s taken a little longer than a year to double from that number but still it has doubled in close...

This year marks a milestone in the evolution of the Internet and its governance. The growth of Internet access and its impact on society demonstrate the success and ongoing viability of a collaborative, people-centered, and inclusive information society. But the benefits of the online world in areas such as education, health and development have yet to reach us all. There are now 3 billion people connected to the Internet, but more than half of the world’s population are yet to have access.
With the ten year review of the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) to be concluded in...

IPv6 deployment growth continues throughout the world as the Regional Internet Registries assign their last remaining IPv4 addresses, and APNIC, Akamai, and Google publish IPv6 deployment statistics showing growth in both individual networks and in countries all around the globe. The standardisation work in the IETF continues to reflect this operational experience, and both the IPv6 Operations (v6ops) and IPv6 Maintenance (6man) Working Groups will be meeting at IETF 94 in Yokohama this week.
The draft draft-jjmb-v6ops-unique-ipv6-prefix-per-host has been generating significant discussion on...

Today, 9 June 2015, is national IPv6 launch day in Finland. Some people might raise their eyebrows and ask: “what, again?” I remember organizing an Internet Technology conference in Helsinki in 1999 where one of the topics was IPv6 and its imminent worldwide deployment. After that it soon started to resemble the story of the boy who cried wolf and “IPv6 will come next year” became a running joke.
So, sixteen years later, has something changed? A couple of months ago I would have said not really. However, the Finnish Communications Regulation Authority’s approach to organize a national launch...

The Internet Society will be heading to a series of events in San Jose, Costa Rica, next week where we are tackling the three pillars that ground our work: development, policy and technology. We expect to bring together several opportunities to promote the open internet, collaborative efforts and the multistakeholder approach for an enabling policy environment. Participating in the sessions from ISOC staff will be: Sally Wentworth, Vice President of Global Policy Development; Sebastian Bellagamba, Regional Bureau Director for LAC and Raquel Gatto, Regional Policy Advisor.
Here are the events...
