To stay ahead of the Internet’s explosive growth, Qwest Communications (NYSE: Q) today announced it is offering public and private Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) addresses to its government and business customers. Now Qwest iQ® Networking service customers can take advantage of IPv6’s built-in security measures and options, as well as a near-endless supply of IP addresses.
Pieter Poll, Qwest chief technology officer comments: “Qwest has long supported the federal government’s focus on cyber security. We have worked actively with government and industry on issues associated with protecting networks and the information that flows through them. By offering the next-generation security that is baked into dedicated IPv6 addressing, Qwest is doing its part to provide government and business customers with the most advanced Internet security that is available.”
With native IPv6, Qwest business and government customers no longer need to use Network Address Translation (NAT), making configuration of complex networks simpler while providing simpler connectivity between peer-to-peer networks for highly secure end-to-end connectivity.
Qwest offers transition paths so customers can use the next generation of addressing protocol to run both IPv4 and/or IPv6 addresses via either:
- Dual Stack approach which offers the ability to run both IPv4 and IPv6 so customers may transition over time and with ease; or
- Native IPv6 which allows Qwest customers to adapt to the next-generation IP protocol as they build new locations and bring on new sites and devices.
