[icernet] Upgraded IP version ready for trials

[Arul Selvan]

Stage set for carrying out IPv6 (Internet Protocol Version 6) trials in 
India. "We feel that awareness has reached the saturation level among 
the industry and 2003 will be a year of trials," said Mr Hemanth 
Dattatreya, President, IPv6 Forum, India, which is on the forefront of 
creating awareness about IPv6. IPv6 is an upgrade of the existing 
Internet Protocol - IPv4, which is fast running out of global IP address 
space to accommodate the increasing number of Web sites. The IP 
addresses are currently being rationed and with increasing connectivity, 
it is expected that by 2010 all the available addresses will be consumed.
