Re: Big deal Why do so many people think that IPv6 involves switching to it? What's gonna happen is that we're going to run IPv6 alongside good old IPv4--not switch from IPv4 to IPv6. Maybe IPv4 will finally disappear from the internet in a decade or something, but that's not a short-term goal.
So, no, I don't think companies will switching to IPv6 in the next 5 years. But I do foresee a lot of companies, large and small, supporting IPv6 over the next year or two. And that's what we're trying to accomplish. |

Because in order to have no problem surfing using ipv6 you would need a router that supports it. Basically it's not just switching a switch at isp and all is good. |

You don't need a router with v6 anymore than you don't need a router for v4. But even that is a lame ass excuse. Every current router from D-Link/Linksys/Netgear and Apple support it and most of them are not even really all that new either. |

I'm not familiar with this topic but how can IPv4 run alongside 6?

I'm not familiar with this topic but how can IPv4 run alongside 6? It's a separate stack. Even if you run Windows XP, chances are that you are running both stacks and have been for years so it isn't whether or not it can, it already does. The v6 version likely has nowhere to go but it is there. Most Linux distributions by default run both stacks out of the box. In any case, if your IPV6 stack can't find an IPV6 router it ignores that and is somewhat dormant.
Dahan is correct, we'll definitely use IPV6 more and more but likely will never retire IPV4 but rather it's usage will be very small. |
