Transition to IPv6

Get Ready--IPv6 Is Finally Here

Has it been an entire year already? A year ago many major Internet service 
providers and online resources put IPv6 through a test run. Now--In just a 
couple days—most of those same IPv6 pioneers will turn on IPv6 for good. Are 
you ready for IPv6?

Taken from:

Excerpts:
- Most of the PCs, IP-enabled devices, and network hardware sold over the 
past few years has included IPv6 technology--at least as an option. Unless 
you’re still using hardware and software from 5 years ago or more, it 
wouldn’t be unreasonable to expect that you’re already set to take advantage 
of IPv6.
- If your hardware and software isn’t compatible with IPv6, though, don’t 
fret. IPv6 is backwards compatible with IPv4, and the Internet will continue 
running both in parallel for some time. You don’t need to run out and get 
IPv6 equipment this week, but you should definitely make sure any future 
purchases are ready to work with IPv6.


Any take if this transition will run smoothly?
