IPV6: The Return of Internet End-2-End New Internet Innovation

Get Ready, Get Moving!
Moving from the current monotonous, asymmetric, non-interactive Internet applications and services to new generation applications to cater for new symmetric and interactive applications is a challenging undertaking as it requires a rejuvenated Internet infrastructure based on the original Internet model called the end-to-end model. This might sound like a nostalgic line to some, but it´s indeed a capital architectural design to lead the Internet where it should head to and where it has not gone before. Simply said, the TWO-WAY Internet is in the making: The New Internet.

IPv6 is not a fashion! IPv6 is a vital upgrade plumbing for the building of the New Internet. It´s the investment of the 21st century for innovation in networking of everyone and everything and a Greenfield for new innovations over innovations.

IPv6 is predestined to become the convergence glue for all networks (fixed, mobile, GRID, etc) and should therefore become a fundamental piece in the strategy plans of any corporation, SME, research and academia.
In this world of technology fashion especially in the access domain, today WIFI, tomorrow WiMax and after tomorrow WiGig, the end-user is lost in this maze and sent back to the question: "what´s in it for me?" and this the moment where some serious work had to happen before you can respond with great confidence on what this technology can do for each one of us.
