Folks, here is positive URL on GENI and this is the importance of GENI to the Internet future too.

The IPv6 Forum will support the GENI project as we can from what we learn is my view. I don't believe GENI competes with our IPv6 mission or objective. Lets be careful we do not confuse PR marketing debates with the reality of engineering and deployment. There is no question that IPv6 is the Next Generation Networks Internet Protocol by any I have talked too associated with GENI for today. Clearly there are confused markekting type pundits who believe the IPv4 fixes will work, and that is simply absurd. If any do believe that IPv6 is not the standard IP Reference Model layer 3 selection for Next Generation Networks Internet protocol they really need to take their case to the IETF, not the IPv6 Forum. I also believe industry will move forward on many of the Internet issues GENI states in parallel of this research effort, which is normal and proper. Suggest we collaborate and assist GENI with their efforts (as Patrick C has for this Paris event below) as we learn more about Network Security, Network Mobility, Satcom to WIMAX, etc. from our technology work in the IPv6 Forum, which is now not just about IPv6, but other networking functions that are required to be understood and deployed to achieve our mission of wide and pervasive deployment of IPv6.

Also and yes of course we will still work on IPv6 parts that need to be done and I still go to the IETF to work on IPv4 too. The IP Reference Model is a living model and continues to be improved by standards bodies, vendors, and deployment forums as our IPv6 Forum, but that does not mean we cannot deploy what exists today at all. IPv6 is ready for deployment with the caveats we have posted often from the IPv6 Forum and from our Regional Task Forces. For example do not turn IPv6 on by default unless you are very sure the security you required from IPv4 can in fact be implemented within your IPv6 network. And other such caveats I think all have come to agree upon.

Best,

        Patrick,          

        You have been real brilliant in chairing your session and positioning clearly that IPv6 is the way forward getting Peter Freeman, Bill St Arnaud and Mark Hendley to firmly support IPv6 as the immediate way forward while GENI is a long term research project.          

        This positioning was supported by Jun Murai's talented vision of the "earth in 1 sec" approach to communication. The speakers from China and Korea added a pile of icing on the cake.          

         This was an IPv6 global milestone .          

        The presentations can now be downloaded from here:
