IPv6, Failover, Quantum Computing and the Evolution of the Public Internet

Post to EtherealMind.com awaiting Moderation: http://etherealmind.com/ip-addressing-ha-links/trackback/

In response to your post update on High Availability Network Addresses, it would be nice if there was some form of super-symmetry amongst the various vendors when it comes to following the latest RFC's and following the proper methods amongst ICANN/ISC/ARIN-RIPE etc so that there will be a decent form of compatibility amongs not only internet addressing, but the next generation of VPN and IP Telephony Devices.


Private IP-Addressing has continued to be a pre-existing problem especially amongst older hardware where it was not possible to establish VPN connections due to NAT and IP Address Space conflicts.


It is unfortunate that vendors still cling to the 192.168.1.0/24 and 192.168.0.0/24 address spaces on the most abundant number of non-enterprise level routing devices on the current generation of the Internet (Circa 1986/rom ARPA-NET/DARPA). At least the Internet2 Project has forced requirements on network design for availability and minimum link speeds. Internet2 is basically what the current public internet was when it started up, a University/Research Based Network (ref: internet2.org).


I forsee that the Private IPv4 Address Spaces 192.168, 172.16, and 10.0 will continue to be used in the mainstream of most networks for many years to come. Even though IPv6 is now officially deployed, there is just too much hardware out there that relies on IPv4 technologies. If you include the most deployed device in the world of IP, the PC, even current plans to migrate from IPv4 to IPv6 could take many decades.


Society actually depends on the IPv4 networks. Some Examples of Legacy IPv4 Hardware still in use include: Public Works and Utilities, Nearly all legacy (pre-fiber GPON) analog/digital Telephone Exchange Switches, Public Works, and so much more as they were deployed without exhaustion foresight.


The IPv4 network basically makes it possible for a government or community to operate on any level. Consider even the 1980's and 1990's era DDS/56k/Analog/T1 Fixed-Wire interconnects that still exist today in order to maintain our base-level Communications Infrastructure, of which without the internet could not exist. The communications infrastructure is held together by dedicated terminals and fixed ipv4 based links of which without, we would be living in the early 20th Century.


If you don't already have connectivity, you may see the next generation soon. Now it is easily possible to have Gigabit Ethernet directly to the Public Internet, even in the size of today's conventional cablemodem like the Motorola ONT1400GTI or ONT1120GE(4x1GbE). Same size as a cable modem, but instead there is a Single-Mode fiber drop connected instead of RG-6 COAX.


In the networks of the future, the Fiber GPON/LPON's like the Motorola AXS1800 and Motorola AXS2200 GPON OLT are the most significant advancements in that they have actually been deployed, put into service in many localities. With 10GbE Internet Uplinks, Not only are they capable of IPv6, they are the first Head-Ends that have been able to replace the AT&T 5ESS and Nortel DMS-100 switches that have been in use for decades amongst the NANPA.


In this new age of communications it would seem that Motorola is one of the kings of the future, thanks to the cost saving R&D of Corning, Tellabs and others.
