IPv6 Transition Guidance Issued By: AI Committee - Effective Date: , 441.856K, DOC




Abstract: The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has directed agencies to implement Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) within their infrastructure by June 2008. IPv6 is an enterprise transformation driven by business, environmental, and technology factors, the scope and impact of which extend well beyond the IT organization. Since IPv6 has the potential to impact agency decisions about business performance, business processes, information, technology infrastructure, security, and other strategic initiatives, IPv6 should be incorporated within the agency's strategic planning and Enterprise Architecture (EA) development activities. To ease the transition to IPv6, the Architecture and Infrastructure Committee (AIC) has developed a set of guidance to assist agencies in their IPv6 efforts. Subsequent to the issuance of OMB M-05-22, AIC released three chapters of IPv6 transition planning guidance. The first chapter, entitled Integrating IPv6 into Agency Enterprise Architecture Planning, was issued in November 2005, and addressed the use of EA to plan for enterprise-wide IPv6 transition. Please find included in this new guidance the second and third chapters of IPv6 guidance for your reference. Printer Friendly
