F5 Makes IPv6 Connectivity a Reality for Interop 2011 Las Vegas Attendees

Interop, one of the world's best known and longest running IT conferences, promotes network interoperability among diverse technology companies. Its U.S.-based events feature InteropNet, a temporary multi-vendor network built by volunteer engineers to serves attendees and exhibitors. As a contributing vendor, F5 provided many key services at Interop 2011 Las Vegas. For the first time ever, Interop attendees had IPv6 connectivity, courtesy of F5's IPv6 to IPv4 gateway and address translation capabilities. F5 also provided a wireless access portal, locally downloadable conference materials, and secure remote network access for InteropNet administrators, and replication of network traffic data for use by multiple exhibitors.
