Will the sky fall if you don’t deploy IPv6?

Will the world end? Will the Internet grind to a screeching halt? Will your computer systems disintegrate into a pile of bits and bytes? In short, no. At least not yet. But you may want to consider a few things.

ISPs arent stupid enough to cut off IPv4 access as they begin rolling out IPv6. If they did, only a tiny fraction of websites on the Internet would be accessible at this time because most content providers havent yet connected their Internet-accessible systems to the IPv6 Internet. The ISPs subscribers would revolt, flood the ISP with service calls, and take their business elsewhere.

But this presents an interesting dilemma for ISPs. If the reports of IPv4 shortages are true (and they are), how does a service provider continue to expand its subscriber base? This problem is most acute in Asia where the growing middle class is coming online and ISPs are starting to run out of IPv4 space. America and Europe arent far behind.

Interest in IPv6 booms despite

The importance of IPv6 could at last be getting through to ISPs and their business customers, a survey from the Number Resource Organisation (NRO) has found.

The recent snapshot by the NRO (an organisation representing Internet registries) of 1,600 ISPs and businesses across the globe underlines that IPv6 is still a small part of the Internet. But IPv6 advocates inhabit a wing of the Internet industry where even tiny changes can seem important.

Eighty percent of respondents reported either no use of IPv6 or a usage level so small it barely registered, with a small percentage reporting usage of between 1 percent and 2 percent.

Turn off Random IPv6 Address Generation in Windows 7

If you read this blog regularly, you already know that a team of authors ? including Jeff Carrell (the lead), James Pyles, Tom Lancaster, Mark Mirrotto, and myself ? are reworking a college textbook called Guide to TCP/IP. In fact, our primary motivations for this revision are to switch from Ethereal to Wireshark as the protocol analyzer of choice, and to add substantial IPv6 coverage to the previously IPv4 centric focus in the prior edition.
