About IPv6 Forum (Thai)

  The exponential growth of the Internet has led to an increasing requirement of IP addresses. However, the current IP address pool is expected to run out in as early as 2008. A new standard of IP addressing, dubbed IPv6, was developed to solve the problem of IP address shortage. Not only does IPv6 offer unimaginably large address space, but IPv6 also improves network efficiency, security, and quality-of-service.

  While many countries in Europe and Asia have started IPv6 deployment, Thailand has little awareness of the importance of IPv6. IPv6 network preparation is crucial for growth and competitiveness of the domestic Internet industry. The establishment of Thailand IPv6 Forum in December 2004 signifies that Thailand is now ready to embark upon a journey of promoting IPv6 deployment and IPv6 based applications.

  As a result, Thailand IPv6 Forum is organizing an international seminar on “The First Thailand IPv6 Summit” in order to create public awareness about the necessity of IPv6 technology. This will provide a stage for academia, ISPs, telecom operators, software and hardware vendors, corporate enterprise and government agencies to learn from one another about IPv6 business opportunities, as well as technical issues regarding IPv6 deployment. 

  Objectives

  1. To promote Thailand IPv6 Forum
  2. To provide a low-cost seminar on IPv6 technology to both public and private sectors
  3. To educate the public about IPv6 technology and to promote IPv6 usage
  4. To create awareness and stimulate IPv6 deployment among ISPs and within organization’s networks
  5. To prepare network providers and users to be ready to update their networks to support IPv6
  6. To increase number of users and activities on the Thailand IPv6 testbed
  7. To provide networking opportunity for people with common interest in future Internet technology
  8. To create public confidence in IPv6 products and services.
  9. To exchange IPv6 knowledge among academia, public, and private sectors.

  Expected Outcome of the Event  

  1. Seminar attendants understand the IPv6 technology and acquire necessary skill for IPv6 network and system administrators
  2. Seminar attendants and their organizations become aware of the need to prepare their networks to support IPv6
  3. Seminar attendants bring knowledge acquired at this event to improve their networks.
  4. ISPs understand the importance of deploying IPv6 network and start planning toward IPv6 commercial services
  5. More companies and organizations join the Thailand IPv6 Forum
  6. More users and activities on the Thailand IPv6 testbed

More companies and organizations apply for IPv6 address blocks from APNIC
