One Problem

0

As much as I want to get rid of IPv4 and understanding the numerous advantages in terms of addressing, security (with IPSec) and managment, there are problems with migration.

Right Now, the US has 75% of all IPv4 addresses in existance, the US isn't EVER going to run out of IP addresses, the rest of the world is.

Dual stacks can alleviate things but they mean you sacrafice most IPv6 advantages for compatibility.

We need to face the fact that we do need to do the following:
1) set a working cutoff date to move to IPv6
2) have a working viable translation plan involving unfortunately some form of NAT.
3) Become IPv6 native.
