IPv6 for Broadcasters
Instructional Method: Online, On-Demand Webinar

Overview
More and more content consumers are turning to the Internet in their consumption of broadcaster content. This increased use of the Internet has also driven expansion of the Internet. Much of the expansion is occurring in an IPv6 only environment due to the shortage of conventional IPv4 address space. This webinar will introduce broadcast engineers to IPv6 and help equip them to make informed decisions about implementing IPv6 in their organizations.
As a broadcaster, if you are providing content to the Internet, IPv6 migration should be considered to enable providing the best Quality of Experience (QoE) to a growing IPv6 content consumer audience without the use of translation schemes. Carriers and Internet service providers utilize translation devices to provide mixed IPv4 and IPv6 interoperability. The various translation schemes are suitable for TCP based applications such as email and web surfing, but can be detrimental to UDP based real-time media used by the broadcaster. In order to provide the best QoE, broadcasters should strive to provide their media content in a native format to IPv6 only users without the need for translation in addition to providing content to the legacy IPv4 users.
This webinar explores the background of IPv6, IPv6 terminology, and migration approaches to enable broadcasters, as content providers, to evaluate and develop an IPv6 implementation plan. Participants will also learn about the current state of the industry in technology fundamentals and principles and get suggestions on where to obtain further knowledge.
