whitepaper New Technique for Fixing an Ethernet IPv6 Address Using the Fedoracore Operating System2008-05-12 Association for Computing Machinery
  During the course to deploy Ipv6, it was found that several critical implementation and operational issues which distract user and possibly prevent wide deployment of Ipv6. Among the problems it is noticed stateless IP autoconfiguration, which provides for each nodes connected to the network an IP address. However, two nodes may have the same address, and a network conflict appears. In this case a manual IP address, which depends on restarting Network Interface Card, is required. This paper presents a technique that, independently of rebooting NIC, maintain the IP address fix. Validation is done by using Fedoracore Operating System.

whitepaper IPv6: Why Move to the Next Generation of the Internet Protocol?2008-05-01 Dell
  The vast majority of networks today, including the Internet, are based on the Internet Protocol, version 4 (IPv4) protocol. Developed over 25 years ago, IPv4 is showing its age. Its 32-bit addressing cannot accommodate the explosive growth worldwide of network-connected devices, particularly in Asia and China. It is estimated that the world may run out of IP addresses as early as 2010-2013. Moreover, IPv4 was not designed with security in mind and its security solutions have not kept pace with the expanding requirements of IP-based networks. These deficiencies are addressed by IPv6. Dell is quickly moving to meet DoD requirements, as well as those of the customers in Asia and the rest of the world.

whitepaper IPv6 and IPsec Tests of a Space-Based Asset, the Cisco Router in Low Earth Orbit (CLEO)2008-05-01 NASA
  This paper documents the design of network infrastructure to support testing and demonstrating network-centric operations and command and control of space-based assets, using IPv6 and IPsec. These tests were performed using the Cisco router in Low Earth Orbit (CLEO), an experimental payload onboard the United Kingdom - Disaster Monitoring Constellation (UKDMC) satellite built and operated by Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd (SSTL). Off late, NASA Glenn Research Center, Cisco Systems and SSTL performed the first configuration and demonstration of IPsec and IPv6 onboard a satellite in low Earth orbit. IPv6 is the next generation of the Internet Protocol (IP), designed to improve on the popular IPv4 that built the Internet, while IPsec is the protocol used to secure communication across IP networks.

whitepaper Telstra BigPond Upgrades ISP Infrastructure With Nominum CNS and Sun2008-05-01 Nominum
  Nominum's network naming and addressing solutions power the world's largest always-on networks. Telstra BigPond wanted to consolidate network infrastructure to reduce costs and DNS identified as performance bottleneck in new network. There was a need to anticipate continued subscriber and traffic growth. As a solution the company deployed Nominum Foundation caching Name server. Nominum's Foundation servers include carrier-grade network naming (dNs) and addressing (dHcP) services. Running on sun, these provide the industry's fastest network services in support of always-on networks and are highly resistant to dramatic changes in network traffic conditions.

whitepaper When a Hurricane Prevented Travel, Executive Meetings Continued Using Multipoint IP Videoconferencing2007-12-18 Cisco Systems
  In late October 2005, disastrous weather in the southeastern United States prevented Cisco marketing executives from traveling to a conference in Florida. And yet, the executives already in Florida were able to meet with their counterparts in San Jose, California and Milan, Italy via an IP videoconference - and conducted the meeting more swiftly than they likely would have in person. This case study provides an example of the value of internal videoconferencing and explains what was required to connect an off-campus location to the Cisco intranet.

whitepaper How Cisco Uses Live Broadcasts and Video on Demand to Save Cost of Onsite Meetings2007-12-17 Cisco Systems
  Executives at Cisco Systems needed an efficient and economical way to communicate with employees in the newly formed sales group for emerging markets. Because these employees are located around the world, bringing them to an onsite meeting was costly and impractical. The solution was an IP-based, live video broadcast from the emerging markets group's leadership team. The live broadcast and a stored Video on Demand (VoD) module were produced by the Cisco Media Network team.

whitepaper How Cisco IT Migrated Call Centers to IP Contact Center2007-12-13 Cisco Systems
  Cisco was rapidly growing as a company, particularly through acquisitions. With this growth came the need to manage diverse call centers, each with different systems, operating procedures, and business focus. Cisco business and call center managers faced several challenges, including: costly, inefficient call handling, inconsistent service to callers, inconsistent reporting etc. Cisco IT was a major participant in the extensive effort to implement a multi-phase, multi-year plan for improving the call centers. One goal of this plan was to use Cisco network and call processing technologies: the Cisco Intelligent Contact Management (ICM) system and, in a later phase, the Cisco IP Contact Center (IPCC) solution.
