\u201cThe future is IPv6,\u201d said Vice-chairman Sanjeev Gupta of the Singapore IPv6 forum, \u201cand as migrants to that future , we might as well get ahead of the curve and integrate. \u201c
\n
\nMr Gupta was speaking at an IPv6 Launch Anniversary event at Chijmes on 13 June 2013, organised by Progreso Training and the IPv6 Forum with support from the Singapore Internet Research Center (SiRC) and ISOC Singapore. <\/p>\n

Around 70 people turned out for the event, a mix of Network Engineers, IT Managers, C-Levels and other ICT professionals. The discussions, over snacks and beverages in a casual, laid-back atmosphere, focused on the latest IPv6 adoption numbers, and challenges still ahead.
\n
\nWhile the future may look promising, Mr Gupta underscored the fact this year, 2013, was \u201cnot the year of IPv6\u201d. Traffic via IPv6 networks remains miniscule as a percentage of total traffic, and attendees hypothesized that no large public network would become V6-only anytime soon.
\n
\nYet marginal gains are being made. While Singapore is slow to adopt (Mr Gupta attributes it to lower growth rates due to its status as a mature ICT economy: \u201cYour business will not collapse if you don\u2019t shift to v6\u201d), growth in other ASEN countries such as Indonesia and the Philippines is, in his words, \u201cexploding.\u201d
\n
\nThat in turn, discussants said, would spur government mandates and industry regulators in Singapore to push and adopt IPv6.
\n
\nAttendees then discussed issues of planning, technology choice, evaluation and deployment – focusing on the nitty-gritties of what this would mean for Network Components\/Infrastructure, Client Devices, and Services Readiness.
\n
\n\u201cGrowth in IPv6 is at the edges,\u201d Mr Gupta said. \u201cAnd we have the edges!\u201d<\/p>\n
