Ch-changes – Taking A New Job At The Internet Society To Join The Fight For The Open Internet
Continue Reading: Ch-changes – Taking A New Job At The Internet Society To Join The Fight For The Open InternetIn the end, my impending job change is perhaps best explained by two quotes: this prescient quote from the 1992 film Sneakers:
“There’s a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it’s not about who’s got the most bullets. It’s about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think… it’s all about the information!”
and this quote from poet Mary Oliver:
“Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?”
For a longer explanation, read on… but perhaps not on a mobile phone… this one’s a bit on the lengthy side…
Bleeding “Voxeo Blue”
Just shy of four years ago, I wrote here about joining this incredibly remarkable company, Voxeo, that probably none of you had ever heard of.
I hope I changed that a wee bit. 🙂
Around a thousand blog posts later, a hundred videos, too many speaking engagements and webinars to count, many articles, a ton of analyst briefings and media interviews … and countless tweets, Facebook posts and other updates later… it has been truly an amazing journey.
Along the way I have come to truly love the company -…

Video: My Talk on “How IPv6 Will Kill Telecom” from eComm2011
Continue Reading: Video: My Talk on “How IPv6 Will Kill Telecom” from eComm2011At eComm 2011 this year, I spoke on “How IPv6 Will Kill Telecom – And What We Need To Do About It“. I enjoyed giving the talk and have received great feedback about the session (including being asked to give a similar session at other conferences). Organizer Lee Dryburgh has now posted the video:
If you are interested in learning more about IPv6, I put together an IPv6 Resource Page over on Voxeo’s Speaking of Standards blog. Enjoy!
P.S. And yes, those of you who have seen previous videos of my presentations will note that my running has paid off… 🙂

How Does IPv6 Impact Telecom Networks? Join This Free Online Session Tomorrow To Learn…
Continue Reading: How Does IPv6 Impact Telecom Networks? Join This Free Online Session Tomorrow To Learn…How does IPv6 impact telecommunications networks? How will IPv6 affect the SIP protocol? If you work in telecom, what should you be aware of with regard to IPv6? With World IPv6 Day only a week away, if you have been wondering about these kind of questions, please feel free to join me live in a free session hosted by the US Telecommunications Association:IPv6 and Telecom Networks
Thursday, June 2, 2011
1:00pm US EasternRegistration is free and if you are unable to attend it will be recorded for later viewing. (And if you register now, you’ll be notified when the archive is available for viewing.) The description of the session is:
The networks that make up the Internet and IP communications are in the middle of a sea-change with the transition to IPv6. What impact will IPv6 have on telecom and communications networks?
Join USTelecom and Voxeo for a look at the various challenges that telecom and broadband services providers face in keeping their communication services working while transitioning to IPv6.
I’ll be explaining briefly why there is all the attention on IPv6 then getting into the basics of IPv6 addressing. After a brief overview, I’ll then dive into…

Making SIP Phone Calls Over IPv6 Using Linphone on MacOS X, Windows, Linux
Continue Reading: Making SIP Phone Calls Over IPv6 Using Linphone on MacOS X, Windows, LinuxWant a softphone that can make calls on IPv6 using the SIP protocol? I was… and kept striking out until I discovered that Linphone: a) ran on more than just Linux (it also supports MacOS X and Windows); and b) worked beautifully with IPv6. I wrote up my findings in this post and included some screenshots:How To Make SIP Calls Over IPv6 Using Linphone (on Mac, Windows, Linux)
It’s quite simple to use (assuming you have IPv6 connectivity) and worked very well in my testing. A big benefit to me was that Linphone lets you do direct computer-to-computer SIP calls, without requiring you to register with a SIP server or other IP-PBX. This gets around the need to have an IP-PBX that is IPv6-connected, which could be a different challenge.
As I noted in the blog post, I am definitely interested in any info people have about other softphones that support IPv6. Jitsi (the renamed “SIP Communicator”) indicates that it has IPv6 support, but it requires registration with a SIP server, and I don’t have one of those running on IPv6. If you have info about other softphones (or other VoIP endpoints), please do leave comments either here or…

Reminder: Free Training on IPv6 and Communications Apps (including SIP) on Thursday, May 5, 2011
Continue Reading: Reminder: Free Training on IPv6 and Communications Apps (including SIP) on Thursday, May 5, 2011As I mentioned last week, I’m speaking in a “Developer Jam Session” on this Thursday, May 5, 2011 on the topic of:IPv6 and How It Impacts Communication Applications
I’ll briefly cover IPv6 basics, talk about how it impacts building communication applications and the SIP protocol and then have some demonstrations of SIP-over-IPv6. You can learn more about the session and register on the Jam Session web page.
It’s free to attend the session – and it will be archived for later viewing if you can’t get there live during the session.
It should be an educational session and I expect I’ll be writing a good bit more about IPv6 in the weeks and months ahead. (You can see some of my writing over on Voxeo’s blog at http://blogs.voxeo.com/speakingofstandards/tag/IPv6/ and here on this blog at /2012/05/17/ipv6/)

Speaking at SIPNOC Next Week on SIP Interoperability and Security (and Joining an IPv6 BOF)
Continue Reading: Speaking at SIPNOC Next Week on SIP Interoperability and Security (and Joining an IPv6 BOF)Next week in the DC area (Herndon, VA) there will be a unique event taking place – SIPNOC: The SIP Network Operators Conference. This event is organized by the SIP Forum and will bring together a great collection of service providers and carriers to share and learn from each other about the realities behind providing SIP-based services today. It will be a great place for those providing real-time communications over IP networks to look at how we can continue to expand and improve the services.There’s a packed agenda at the event that includes many great sessions I’m looking forward to attending. I’ll be there speaking about SIP interoperability and some of the lessons we’ve learned at Voxeo as we’ve interconnected our SIP cloud to that of so many carriers. I’ll also be donning my VOIP Security Alliance (VOIPSA) hat to participate on a panel about security.
And naturally given my intense interest in IPv6 these days (and all my writing about IPv6, I’ll of course be joining in to the “IPv6 Readiness” BOF planned for Tuesday, April 26.
I’m very much looking forward to this first SIPNOC event… if you are already planning to be there please do say…
