(MENAFN- Khaleej Times) The IPv6 project, an initiative championed by the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority, or TRA, is meant to prepare the UAE and its Internet stakeholders for the looming IPv4 depletion and ensure business continuity.
The second IPv6 workshop, held recently in Dubai, comes as part of the IPv6 strategic project handled by the TRA. Last year, an intro-workshop was held by the TRA and attended by government and private entities to explain the importance of their roles throughout the UAE IPv6 project.
The workshop prepared government departments and a range of private bodies for the inevitable transition to IPv6 and will focus on the need to incorporate the new Internet protocol into their networks, applications and services. The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority declared in early 2011 the issuing of its last remaining blocks of IPv4 addresses. Consequently, the TRA has championed the IPv6 transition project as a necessary response for the current depletion problem.
The UAE IPv6 project aims to devise a national IPv6 policy, strategy and implementation plan to be followed by an implementation phase to securing the healthy levels of growth in the UAE's ICT sector.Â
