IPv6 Buzz 087: How Merit Network Used Carrots Over Sticks To Drive IPv6 Adoption
In this episode of IPv6 Buzz Ed, Scott, and Tom chat with Lola Killey, Infrastructure and Research Support Analyst at Merit Network, Inc. Merit Network is a non-profit research and education ISP overseen by the public universities of Michigan. It provides network and security services to educational communities in and outside of Michigan.
Lola was also the Program Director of Merit Network’s IPv6 Readiness Program, source of the recently published white paper “Addressing the Issue”, which persuasively argues that “time is running out for higher education to get up to speed on IPv6.”
Topics discussed include:
* What Merit Network is and what it does
* The impetus, goals, and strategy for the IPv6 Readiness Program
* What research and education networks should be thinking about in terms of IPv6 adoption now and going forward
Thanks for listening!
