This week, Sandvine was in Chicago attending The Cable Show 2011, a huge tradeshow where thousands of industry players come together to exchange ideas, listen to prominent speakers and learn about the next-generation of technological breakthroughs for the cable industry.

Sandvine participated in the CableNET pavilion, which was jointly hosted by CableLabs and the National Cable & Telecommunications Association. This section of the exhibit floor is used primarily by technology companies to share their latest breakthroughs and showcase products appealing to cable providers.

Our contribution to CableNET was demonstrating our recently announced Traffic Management Dashboard, the latest addition to our Network Analytics business intelligence product.

In the past few months we have seen the announcement of three music locker services from some pretty big players in the technology space.

The concept around a music locker is a simple one. Upload your music to the cloud and then access it from any device, anywhere.

In our preliminary findings, we noted that IPv6 downstream traffic and connections (number of TCP sessions) increased substantially above typical levels, but remained relatively low in comparison to IPv4 (which exceeds native IPv6 traffic by a factor of about 1000).

Consequently, this global trial run of IPv6 serves as an important benchmark, and was closely watched in network operations centers around the world.
