IPv6 has generated a lot of questions and challenges, many of which we discussed on our IPv6 FAQ webcast. And with reportedly less than a year until IPv4 exhaustion, making the move to IPv6 has become a top priority for enterprises, service providers, and government agencies. As we've discussed before, networks are already handling traffic from both IPv4 and IPv6, making it critical that they can measure the resiliency of their networks under this dual stack reality. With this in mind, BreakingPoint today published an IPv6 methodology that replaces conventional IPv4/IPv6 dual stack testing.

A few weeks ago I provided a link to the network security survey we were doing with SANS. The survey is now closed and the results are currently being analyzed by the SANS analyst for the in-depth research paper. We will be announcing many of the findings during a webcast on July 22nd that is now open for registration. The webcast will feature three renowned network security experts; BreakingPoint CTO Dennis Cox, David Rice, senior SANS instructor and James Tarala of Enclave Consulting.

Those aren’t my pearls of wisdom but the words of Leonardo da Vinci, who knew in the 15th century that removing complexity unveils the greatest opportunities. Our 10th record quarter of growth just ended, a testament to the powers of simplifying what was once an overly complex, brittle, and difficult-to-maintain process. Now we’re turning our sights toward simplifying the migration to Long-Term Evolution or LTE, the next-generation network for mobile telephony.
