Native IPv6 at Cisco Networkers 2009

At the Cisco Networkers 2009 event last week I was surprised to have native IPv6 connectivity on all the wireless hotspots. I must say that Cisco did an awesome job to promote their Green Technology and IPv6 agenda’s this year.

IPv6 connectivity was provided by Tata Communications. Another nice feature was the serving of AAAA records by Google. So I don’t think most attendees even noticed they where using IPv6 at the Cisco Networkers event!

IP address where assigned with Stateless Auto Configuration or  Optional Stateless DHCPv6. So basically, everything worked out-of-the-box without any explicit configuration requirement.
