By September 30, 2014, agencies need to update their public networks to Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) to comply with Office of Management and Budget (OMB) guidance.

GSA has made available a comprehensive IPv6 SOW Template [DOC, 1.25MB] for agencies to use at no-cost to help achieve a smooth and well-planned transition. GSA encourages each agency to access, customize and leverage the IPv6 SOW for its own needs.

The galaxy, named Abell2744 Y1, was formed around 13.2 billion years ago when the universe was extremely young. As the universe is expanding, Abell2744 Y1 is currently closer to 40 billion light years away from us, an astounding distance.
