The NAv6TF North American IPv6 Technology Conference 1 will provide attendees four days of IPv6 technology knowledge transfer to assist participants at the conference with the planning and systems analysis for IPv6 deployment. NAv6TF networking and IPv6 subject matter experts will discuss the architectural principles, technology advantages, mobility, transition, security, porting of applications, and other topics in depth. "IPv6 is imperative for the restoration of an end-to-end Internet. Come to this San Jose event, and learn how it can be accomplished," said Jim Bound, CTO IPv6 Forum and Chair NAv6TF. "IPv6 is coming to the Silicon Valley. IPv6 has as much IPv6 addresses as sand in the planet, so good for silicon," said Latif Ladid, President of the IPv6 Forum. "Silicon Valley has proven to be one of the greatest locations on the planet for marrying different technologies into products and services that have advanced all of our lives in some way. IPv6, as a building block in the New Internet, is going to be fundamental to the continuation of that process. It is imperative that the many companies and organizations of the Valley avail themselves of this opportunity," stressed Yurie Rich, Business Director, NAv6TF.
