enhanced internet

IPv6 is short for "Internet Protocol Version 6". IPv6 is the "next generation" protocol designed to replace the current version Internet Protocol, IP Version 4 ("IPv4"). Most of today's internet uses IPv4, which is now nearly twenty years old. IPv4 has been remarkably resilient in spite of its age, but it is beginning to have problems. Most importantly, there is a growing shortage of IPv4 addresses, which are needed by all new machines added to the Internet. IPv6 fixes a number of problems in IPv4, such as the limited number of available IPv4 addresses. It also adds many improvements to IPv4 in areas such as routing and network autoconfiguration. IPv6 is expected to gradually replace IPv4, with the two coexisting for a number of years during a transition period. Part of Impulse's technological advantage is complete "Dual Stack" IPv4 and IPv6 capability. The same redundant, high availability network we provide for IPv4 is available today on IPv6 through Impulse.

nhanced Internet Access services are designed especially for companies that rely on the Internet to conduct their business. By providing a high availability/high throughput link between the customer's LAN and the Internet, Impulse's Enhanced Internet Access Services increase business productivity. Each of our Internet datacenters has multiple paths to the Internet directly out of that geographic location, whereas our national competitors typically rely on a single network to get them to an Internet Network Access Point (NAP) before their traffic has access to multiple networks. This offers your business greater reliability as your traffic travels between your location and your Internet destinations. When a single network fails, you are still operational. An added benefit of our network architecture is better network speeds as more of your Internet traffic is routed directly onto the destination network, and avoids having to fight through congested NAPs.
