DHCP is so much more than assigning an IP address in our modern network environments. When moving to IPv6, this means we have a lot to consider and address.

This is part of our “Migration Considerations for IPv6” series of educational webinars.

DNS is often an overlooked aspect of any network environment. When moving to IPv6, this is an important aspect that must be planned for and addressed.

In this presentation Uma Chunduri talks about evolving 5G deployments in operator networks, in Multi-access Edge Clouds (MECs) as well as on-prem edges from requirements to network challenges. He talks about the ubiquitous and intelligent computing demands and usage of IPv6 in these deployments. He also talks about some of the unaddressed challenges in the network layer.

About Uma: Uma S. Chunduri is a 5G NW Architect at Next Generation and Standards Group, Intel and working on MEC NW architecture, intelligent compute scaling, edge strategy and solutions.

Uma is an IP routing and wireless expert with 20+ years of R&D background and expertise in SPs, CoSPs and Cloud networks. He previously worked at Futurewei (Huawei USA) as a Distinguished Engineer & Sr. Director of Technology at Future Networks CTO office providing solutions to enable various industry verticals with deterministic network services, 5G/B5G transport NW strategy and technology research & standardization. He is a technology contributor at ETSI, ITU-T FG2030 and at IETF with 10+ published RFCs and numerous Internet Drafts, as well as secured 50+ patents in his career. Uma was also with Intoto/Freescale Semiconductors, Kineto Wireless and was a Principal Systems Engineer at Ericsson R&D, USA. Uma is based in Santa Clara, California.

Getting Started with IPv6 on the Mainframe: Part 2

Concerned about adding a new protocol to your IP stack? Is someone in your company demanding that you have that capability on your mainframe? Don’t know what needs to be done and how much effort is involved? And what does it all mean?
Rob has done the hard work for you and can tell you what it takes to enable your mainframe systems for IPv6. This presentation will give you the few steps you need to get you going, to get IPv6 active on your z/OS system.
Rob started programming mainframe computers in 1971, and learned an exceptional array of languages, tools and techniques, all without internet assistance. He did some dazzling database work in the `80s, and wrote over half of the first online registration system for the University of Toledo. In the ‘90s he did contracts with three oil companies, a software company and a credit bureau, involving VM, MVS, VSE, OS/2, several flavors of Unix, and an equal variety of networking protocols. He is now with Chemical Abstracts Service, a division of the American Chemical Society, supporting z/OS, z/VM and Linux, along with proprietary networking software. He has been involved with and a fan of IPv6 since early this century, performing the configuration and software upgrades required to support it on the mainframe. He happily notes that the mainframe was the first platform configured for it, with applications using IPv6 sockets exclusively. Rob is also co-author of RFC8250.
