Alain Durand, Comcast
How to manage a network with 100+ million IP addresses in the next few
years? When Net10 does not cut it anymore, the sensible answer for Comcast
is IPv6. Comcast is one of the first operators to adopt IPv6 as a
strategic activity with an aggressive roll-out plan. In its initial phase,
this plan focuses on the management and operation of Comcast-operated
devices such as cable modems and set-top boxes. Key architectural choices
are made to reduce the complexity of the overall deployment.
