IPv6 ESnet Research IPV6 connectivity becoming a reality

In anticipation of the impending demise of IPv4, the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) has produced a comprehensive set of specifications that define the next generation internet protocol known as "IPng" or IPv6".

ESnet is working to make this transition from IPv4 to IPv6 as seemless as possible for our customers. We are one of the few Internet Service Providers to be a participate in the 6Bone backbone. Our engineering staff is also testing many of the network services we are all familiar in an IPv6 environment.
