According to Global Crossing, IPv6 simplifies mobile IP networking with improved routing and security capabilities. "By enabling devices to automatically configure their Internet connectivity, IPv6 will support the expected explosion of dynamically connected network devices including PDAs, cell phones, Internet-connected televisions, home security and HVAC systems, and 'smart' household appliances."
IPv6 is a standard service component in Global Crossing's global Internet Access Services. The company says that its global MPLS-based IP VPN infrastructure will be fully IPv6-enabled by the end of 2005.
One of the first users of the IPv6 functionality is Ireland's national research network HEAnet which provides Internet access to more than 150,000 students, academics and researchers. According to senior network engineer, Dave Wilson, "IPv6 is vital to the continued success of the Internet...As more new applications come on stream, the constraints of legacy IPv4 are becoming increasingly onerous, and both security and business suffer as a result By taking the reins off the use of addresses, users and developers are no longer bound by unnecessary paperwork and can concentrate their energy where it's needed."
The U.S. government has mandated that its agencies adopt IPv6 in their core networks by 2008.
