IPv6 Consulting

Hogg Networking has decades of experience guiding enterprises along their IPv6 deployment journey. Every organization approaches IPv6 in a unique way due to the nature of their business and the benefits they hope to derive from using the protocol. We can work with you to develop a plan that suits your organization’s needs and mission. HoggNet will also strike the perfect balance of providing you with the right amount of support while empowering your teams to deploy and operate IPv6 independently.

HoggNet helps organizations move through these IPv6 transition phases as they strive for a successful implementation. Some of these phases can be performed in parallel while other phases have dependencies. We can help your organization make the right architecture and design choices based on leading best practices. For example, providing technical IPv6 training for your teams is a critical early step.

Furthermore, you would not want to proceed with enabling IPv6 before you have a comprehensive plan to proactively secure IPv6.

This same advice can be found in the IETF RFC 7381 “Enterprise IPv6 Deployment Guidelines”. It is very common for enterprises to start with a preparation and assessment phase. You would then proceed with deployment of IPv6 on external networks before moving onto the internal implementation. Enterprise IPv6 deployment guides can vary but they often all recommend an Internet-edge inward approach. 

For many organizations, it may be overwhelming to embark on a large IPv6 initiative and they may prefer to take an “agile approach”. We can support this type of deployment by helping to develop the business case for IPv6 that identifies those services and infrastructure that gain the most benefit.

We want to discourage any responsible organization from intentionally or unintentionally compressing their IPv6 deployment timeline. Every enterprise needs to recognize that the transition to IPv6 is inevitable, and they should start immediately if they are not using it already.
