As I write this, on the 23rd June 2009, I’ve been reminded
that some 20 years ago, on the night of the 23rd June 1989,
Robert Elz of the University of Melbourne and Torben
Neilsen of the University of Hawaii completed the
connection work that bought the Internet to Australia with
a permanent connection via a 56kbps satellite circuit.

Since that day we’ve evidently connected some 56.8% of the
local population, or 12,073,852 Australians, to the
Internet (according to recent Internet user statistics
published by the ITU-T). While that~s an impressive
outcome, I suppose I should say at the outset that when we
started down this path in Australia some twenty years ago
we had no intention of achieving this scale of
outcome. Indeed we never thought that this type of data
networking would ever cross the boundary from an esoteric
tool to assist a select group of computer literate
researchers and academics into the mainstream of society,
and current concepts like twitter and social networking
were completely foreign to us. In truth all we were trying
to do was to save a bit of money for the universities and
have some fun experimenting with some pretty novel
technology on the way. At best this was all just an
experiment and if there was ever going to be some
mainstream commercial outcome, then that was the for the
telephone companies to work on, and was certainly none of
our business.

So how and why did all this get started?

Although it has been a network protocol standard for more than 10 years, IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6) has only been minimally implemented by the networking community. But that could change now that the U.S. Department of Energy’s Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) has deployed a production IPv6 management system across its entire network.
