[Wylug-announce] Meeting: Monday 14th March – IPv6

[James Holden]

All,

The next meeting will be on Monday 14th March at Old Broadcasting House in
Leeds.

This month we have a talk from Paul Brook on IPv6.

  IPv6 was developed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) to deal with
  the long-anticipated IPv4 address exhaustion. Like IPv4, IPv6 is an Internet
  Layer protocol for packet-switched internetworking and provides end-to-end
  datagram transmission across multiple IP networks. While IPv4 allows 32 bits
  for an Internet Protocol address, and can therefore support 2^32
  (4,294,967,296) addresses, IPv6 uses 128-bit addresses, so the new address
  space supports 2^128 (approximately 340 undecillion or 3.4×10^38) addresses.
  
Paul will be assisted by Andy Davidson of Hurricane Electric, who will be
aiming to provide a live interactive demonstration. Please feel free to bring
your own IPv6-capable wireless devices.

The talk commences at 7:00pm with the venue opening for chat and coffee from
6:30pm.

After the talk, we all go down to Mr Foleys for beer and more geeky chat.

The meeting is open to all, and new visitors are most welcome.


Cheers,

James
