History of AFTR

The initial development of ISC's AFTR was funded by Comcast over about 18 months in 2008 and 2009. However, AFTR was never intended for one carrier's use or benefit. It is an open source implementation meant to promote the development of open standards for IPv4/v6 transition technology. We're now inviting ISPs and enterprises-- anyone who needs to grow a network beyond the end of the unallocated IPv4 address space-- to join the AFTR community we're building and help make Internet growth happen beyond the end of the IPv4 address pool.
