Application Assessment
A critical component of insuring IPv6 integration success is the understanding of the impacts of the introduction of IPv6 on the current network infrastructure and applications.
- Are the applications coded properly to perform utilizing an IPv6 address?
- Do the current applications have IPv4 addresses embedded in them and what is the impact of the application not performing properly?
There are many differences between IPv4 and IPv6 such as IPv6 has a significantly simpler header format, which should enable faster aggregate throughout within the network – especially important in the network core. Using extension headers for “unusual”, or “special handling required” packets, rather than a monolithic options field, is also efficient. For example, considering how hard network engineers work to keep fragmentation levels low, having every IPv4 header carry 32 bits of zeros – for each unfragmented packet – seems particularly inefficient. Still, the IPv6 base header is 40 octets long, where the IPv4 header – with no options – is only 20 octets – this is simply a result of the use of 128-bit addresses.
Understanding the similarities and differences with IPv4 and IPv6 and then assessing your current applications for impacts on performance are critical to ensure that the applications will perform as expected once a dual stack or IPv6 addresses is implemented into the network. Each and every application must be reviewed to determine utilization of IP addressing within the application itself. Command Information combines the experience, technical knowledge and application understanding to assess your applications and modify any code appropriately to continue the applications performance.
Application Development
New IT architectures such as increased mobile content, peer-to-peer networking and the introduction of IPv6 are driving new applications and changing current applications requirements. Clearly understanding those requirements and business processes through a sound discovery process is critical to the successful development, deployment and usage of applications. Command Information’s methodology provides an iterative process for requirements gathering and applications development.
Command Information develops software through a dynamic, iterative approach, prioritizing functionality to deliver working code faster and less expensive.
Application Implementation
Application implementation also referred to as testing and validation is a critical component in the successful deployment of new or revised applications. Rework on software post release can be expensive and cause disruption in your agency or businesses operations. Being confident that your software application will be able to support projected usage, peak load traffic requirements and that the features and functionality that were designed into the software all perform as expected.
Command Information’s application implementation service focuses on quality by testing and implementing software applications in a controlled process. Our extensive familiarity with myriad languages, platforms, and products allows us to quickly determine an ideal strategy for painless implementation while focusing on the organizational needs, addressing the concerns of IT and overall operations alike.
Mash-up Services
Command Information’s Mash-up services allow agencies or companies to utilize Web 2.0 technologies to provide a richer experience to your users.
Mash-up or open source tools coupled with our iterative development process enables Command Information to provide leading edge user-centric applications which shorten time to value. We develop personalized user-friendly views utilizing legacy internal and public data on a real-time basis. By incorporating SSO, LDAP, and management/monitoring capabilities, we provide the security and governance your agency or organization requires.

Commanding Thoughts
“The scale of the challenge of migrating to IPv6 is frequently massively underestimated. The focus is usually on the network, but in reality, IPv6’s impact crosses all areas of IT”
- Gartner Research, September 2008
DON'T BE IN DENIAL.
Misconception
IPv6 is not something to be concerned with now.
Reality
IPv6 must be addressed immediately. IPv6 devices are already on your network. Security and policy issues need to be addressed now. Significant cost savings can be realized now on major programs.
