You need to be able to show a business benefit before making changes like that; right now changing to ipv6 would give no benefit, require replacement of existing hardware and create additional troubleshooting load.
Until that changes there won't be widespread adoption of ipv6 by businesses.
- slashCJ 12y agoAt somepoint Congress needs to offer some small tax incentive and companies will slowly confert with that business justification. (Like the Electric Vehicle credit for network hardware - come on Cisco lobbyists get on that!) Not sure if that if that extends internationally
- nknighthb 12y ago> require replacement of existing hardware This is the most ridiculous excuse people use. The premise doesn't even apply except in extreme cases: 1) 10+-year-old gear. (And even then only some; I've got plenty of decade-old gear lying around that supports IPv6 just fine.) 2) Extremely demanding performance requirements (to be in this category you'd likely be spending millions every year on gear and the people to run it). 3) Shitty $50 consumer gear. If you're #1 or #3, you're going to need to fix that before long anyway, and even if you're #2, that's not applicable to your office network! Hardware just isn't a good excuse for not turning on IPv6.
