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.

    My gullable friend was duped into ordering a subscrition from "mp3 grand central", which you'll find by searching google/overture for mp3 and looking under the
    "sponsored links." So, to get revenge, CLICK HERE [mp3grandcentral.com] to download a large file (kazaa light) from their server. In addition, using no bandwidth, you can click on their ad here to make them pay $1.40 to Overture. It's the 2nd "sponsored match" at the left saying "Napster's Replacement Only $0.99 a Month." If you feel like making a phone call, the # is (732) 542-1764.

    I just got layed off about a month ago. So I decided to report my former employer to the BSA.
    They're in deep shit now.
    Revenge is sweet.

      Reporting someone to the BSA is not worth it for revenge. Its kind of like selling your soul, not to the devil, but to the highest bidder.

    I blame the Chinese... if there wasn't so god damn many of them we wouldn't need IPv6! I say we drop a nuke on China and that'll take care of the problem.

    Please... by your logic, the Itanium is the utter most useless piece of crap (because it's so slow to execute legacy code and there is not useful native software) ever to see the light of the IT world.

    Oh... wait.....

    Maybe what they mean is that IPv6 is going to make it better?

    I'm curious, when you say the "Journaling filesystem" of NT 3.5 that no one used, I'm assuming you mean NTFS. You might remember it, it's the file system that was installed by default.

    I was deploying Windows NT 3.1 and 3.5x systems for several years, and worked with dozens of others who were doing the same thing, we all went directly for NTFS for all of our data storage. Maybe you're thinking HPFS?

    Please, feel free to quote your source of information on the lack of use of that non-working file system.
