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.
