U.S. DoD Commits To IPv6

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the leading-the-way dept.

babaloo writes "According to this article the U.S. Defense Department wants to move it's entire network to IPv6 by the year 2008. Will this be what pushes at least U.S. based companies and providers to actually convert over?" It's definitely a shot in the arm that IPv6 needs. This seemed to be more of a priority back when NAT was much less prevalent, but it seems we'll eventually find ourselves on IPv6, even if we drag our feet there.

    2008!!!! Won't we need IPv7 by then?

    Yeah, but.. Didn't the government want us to be totally metric by now also?

    Maybe the white house could push this through.
    BTW does Bush even know what IPv6?
    I called up one of my customers ISP's for support and asked if they support IPv4 and they said no.

    For those not in the know, here is a brief article Explaining the benefits of IPV6.

    Dear rotten.com,

    I am unsure if you are aware of the problems that your "Incident with the bird" picture has caused on the popular technology website slashdot (http://slashdot.org).
    Many users of this site's messageboards are posting links to http://nero-online.org/slashdot.php and making text based representations of a bird on a man's penis. Frankly, while I am pro-freedom, this type of photo sickens me. Could you please move the location of the bird page on your site to keep slashdot readers from seeing things that are completeley unrelated to computers and technology? I'm not asking you to remove the content, just to relocate it.
    FYI the text representation of the bird is:

  9. That was the worst fucking essay I ever read. by moogla · · Score: 0, Troll

    That's it, bring on IPV6 right now, and stick me in a networking course until I can assemble the packets by hand. I'll draw up diagrams on metric graph paper too.

    120cm boards, holy shit what idiocy. If I have to explain why that's retarded I'm going to SHOOT EVERYONE ON THIS FUCKING WEBSITE.
