John L. Osterholz, the Pentagon's director of architecture and interoperability, will discuss the Department of Defense's (DoD) transition to Internet Protocol Version 6 (Ipv6) this morning during his keynote at the U.S. IPv6 Summit 2003. | ||
| According to the Pentagon, IPv6 will integrate elements of the DoD's global information grid, including its sensors, weapons, platforms, information and people. The Pentagon's goal is to complete the transition to IPv6 by fiscal year 2008.
"IPv6 provides operational benefits to the Department of Defense and private enterprise that are not available with the current Internet technology," said Jim Bound, chair of the North American IPv6 Task Force and the IPv6 Forum Technical Directorate. Click here for the complete press info. |
