The prime objective of the IPv6 Forum and its members is to promote deployment and swifter uptake of the new Internet using the new Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) with support from industry, education, research communities and government agencies enabling equitable access to technology and knowledge.

"The IPv6 Forum Bangladesh has been created to extend to the Bangladeshi Internet community a strong voice and representation in the new Internet world to enable equal access to knowledge and education on New Generation Internet technologies and create momentum in deploying IPv6" said Latif Ladid, IPv6 Forum President.

"The IPv6 Forum Bangladesh will attract key stakeholders from government, industry and academia to design the IPv6 roadmap and vision together for Bangladesh to be among the first to embrace the New Internet World based on IPv6" Stated Mr. AHM Bazlur Rahman, Joint Convener, IPv6 Forum Bangladesh.

The Internet World has been using the Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) for the last two decades.  Despite its tremendous success, IPv4 is showing signs of strain especially in its fast depleting IP address space and its growing security concerns.  IPv6 preserves everything good in today's Internet, and adds much more, such as virtually unlimited IP address space to connect everyone and everything, stateless auto-configuration, seamless mobility, automated network management, mandated security and new optional service levels.
