What's Your Timeline for IPv6 Migration?

Posted by Cliff on from the as-networks-evolve dept.

SgtChaireBourne asks: "IPv4 has, over the last 20 years, seen unexpectedly wide adoption. During this time it's proven to be both flexible and robust, but also several problems, though once small, have grown. IPv6 looks to solve some scalability problems, add needed privacy and authentication mechanisms, address quality of service, and provide better routing and addressing capabilities. What kind of timeline does your site/institution/business have for rolling out IPv6 and how?" Those interested in IPv6 migration may also be interested in this article, from a year ago.

    Microsoft is well ahead there [microsoft.com]. They have been doing IPv6 stuff for years. Of course you still can't do anything with it and there is no DNS support and nobody seems to have a transition plan worth a damn, but you cannot blame Microsoft.

    Sounds just like the "Jounaling filesystem" of NT 3.5. It was there in a half assed way, it did not work and no one used it. Way to be "ahead there" and innovative, M$! No, no one can blame them for that, no sir.

    Friends don't help friends install M$ junk.

    I work for an ISP and we really dislike customers like you, that's probably why they haven't responded to your emails. IPv6 on your DSL....oooohhh you're cool...not!!!!
