About the session
The Internet Protocol (IP) is at the very foundation of the internet and is the technology responsible for addressing, connecting and routing the billions of devices connected today. Although unquestionably successful at this task, the current version IPv4, is struggling with the unprecedented rate of growth seen over the past decade.
IPv6 is the successor to IPv4 and over the past few years the internet has begun to transition to this new standard. Currently, ~10% of the worlds devices are using IPv6 and this number is growing at an increasingly rapid rate.
This transition will largely be seamless and many will not even know it has happened but there are some key advantages to understanding what is going on. This will allow the informed to ensure their applications continue to function as expected and even give them an edge over the competition.
At this event we will present:
Why IPv6 is important and how it could give your mobile applications a real-world performance boost.
Technical tips and tricks for using IPv6 with the Apple iOS API’s as well as with C/Java/Python/PHP.
