The Top 20 IPv6 Influencers Working with the U.S. Government

This Government Insights' report helps federal agencies understand the playing field for vendors who are having the most influence today on IPv6. There is great pressure this year for U.S. federal government agencies to re-engineer their Internet traffic. The federal government will radically reduce its total number of Internet connections while also integrating IPV6 on its backbone networks. To meet these challenges, agencies are relying heavily on the vendor community to help solidify their long-term migration plans.

"IPv6 migration and implementation will be a long-term challenge for federal agencies," says Shawn P. McCarthy, research director, Government Vendor Programs at Government Insights. "Understanding who the major players are in the government IPv6 market, how they are influencing the Internet Protocol, and how agencies can leverage that expertise to improve their IPv6 networks can help smooth that transition."
