SUMMARY:Getting the Logical Infrastructure Right: Enabling Sustainable E-co
 mmerce Growth with Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6)
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:Getting the Logical Infrastructure Right: Enabling Sustainable 
 E-commerce Growth with Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6)organized by Asia
 -Pacific Network Information Centre\, Internet Society and Internet Corpor
 ation for Assigned Names and NumbersThis event is part of UNCTAD&#039\;s E
 -Commerce WeekThe conduct of day-to-day commerce relies on a strong infras
 tructure to facilitate transactions\, transport goods and connect markets.
  Likewise\, the Internet as a key catalyst for economic development and th
 e e-commerce activities it enables\, require a reliable digital infrastruc
 ture with the capacity to scale as an economy grows.As the number of users
  and devices that connect to the Internet has increased\, there has become
  a growing strain on the predominant addressing system on which the Intern
 et relies\, IPv4. With IPv4 addresses capped at 4.3 billion and with a con
 servative estimate of over 20 billion devices to be connected by 2020\, th
 ere is a clear technical hurdle to the growth of the digital economy.IPv6\
 , with about 100 addresses for every atom on the surface of Earth\, offers
  a respite. However\, without a smart\, long-term approach economies may f
 ace challenges of scalability and the potential for a new digital divide w
 hich will hamper end-to-end Internet connectivity and the potential of e-c
 ommerce as a tool for economic growth\; especially in the developing world
 .This session\, with contributors from the technical community\, governmen
 t and business\, will explore the different facets of IPv4 exhaustion and 
 IPv6 deployment.More importantly\, it will consider how the different stak
 eholders can work together to ensure sustainable growth of the Internet as
  an essential enabler of e-commerce.Speakers:Anne-Rachel Inne\, Vice Presi
