| The United States (US) Department of Defense(DoD) has been tasked by the DoD Chief Information Officer (DoD CIO) to transition its networks from Internet Protocol (IP) version 4 (IPv4) to IP version 6 (IPv6) by fiscal year 2008 (FY08). This will be a daunting task and presents significant challenges to DoD network architect, engineers and operators. One of the most difficult challenges will be to ensure that sensitive DoD information is not compromised by the introduction of IPv6. Currently, DoD information assurance (IA) professionals are studying this problem and architecting solutions to mitigate these risks. In this paper, we present notional security architectures for DoD networks transitioning to IPv6. | |||

His accomplishments during that period include the development of numerical models of IP network performance based on non-linear and spectral analysis techniques. Mr. Dunn is currently supporting the TRICARE Management Activity (TMA) IPv6 transition effort. Mr. Dunn’s credentials include authoring 4 IETF RFC’s in Benchmarking and Test Methodologies. He has published 3 Bell Lab Technical Journal Articles on Test Methodologies, Security Mechanisms, and IP QoS. He also published articles in the areas of numerical models and simulation.
