In 2005, the U.S. Government Accountability Office recommended that all agencies begin planning a coherent transition to IPv6. IPv6 will solve the problem of limited IP addresses and improve internetworking capabilities. This promising protocol is gaining momentum and it is only a matter of time before the transition will have to occur globally. The problem is that during the three-to-six year transition period, IPv6 and its predecessor, IPv4, will have to successfully coexist in order to ensure service continuity.
Not only federal agencies, but corporations and institutions must start planning the transition to IPv6 now to maintain the operation, security, and interoperability of their networks.
The implementation of IPv6 is essential to the continued growth of the internet and the development of new applications. The Handbook of IPv4 to IPv6 Transition Methodologies provides a wealth of best practices and procedures that will help corporations plan and implement a smooth transition to IPv6.
The Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is now gaining momentum as an improved network layer protocol. There is much commercial interest and activity in Europe and Asia, and as of press time, there also was some traction in the United States. For example, the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) announced that from October 1, 2003, all new developments and procurements needed to be IPv6-capable; the DoD’s goal was to complete the transition to IPv6 for all intra- and internetworking across the agency by 2008. In 2005, the U.S. General Accountability Office
(GAO) recommended that all agencies become proactive in planning a coherent transition to IPv6. The expectation is that in the next few years a transition to this new protocol will occur worldwide.
IPv6 is considered to be the next-generation Internet Protocol [HUI199701], [HAG200201], [MUR200501], [SOL200401], [ITO200401], [MIL199701], [MIL200001], [GRA200001], [DAV200201], [LOS200301], [LEE200501], [GON199801], [DEM200301], [GOS200301], [MIN200601], and [WEG199901]. The current version of the Internet Protocol, IPv4, has been in use for almost 30
