i think one of the big problems with IPv6 is that it is really complicated to learn, i tried and i still dont get it

the main issue is re-education of millions of network engineers.

The Internet has created its own Incumbents and its monopolists. They will be phased out if they sit on their lame hands. Normal users should never ask for an IPv6 address as they never asked for IPv4. ISPs are a bunch of losers in this respect.

The problem with IPv6 is the perception people have of their networks. Under IPv4 people percieve that they are safe behind a NAT router/firewall and also that they pay for one public ip and their network behind the rouuter rides free.
Unfortunately this is also how the greedy ISP’s see it and you can bet your very bottom dollar and your mortgage that the isp’s will charge for every single IPv6 address. Now that’s great if you have a few hundred million yen in your pocket but not so good for small companies. At the moment the best a company can do is run on a ipv4 router and tunnel to IPv6. This offers the best of both worlds.
Also why dont greedy ISP’s and corporations give up the IPv4 addresses they dont use?
so that we get more time to roll out IPV6
There isnt the security hardware or software yet to cope with IPv6
Its just greed urging people on

There are no demand of IPv6 from the customers, and ISP’s will not provide that service until the IPv4 adresses are out of, that they will go to out at the market for hight prices, then ISP’s vill considering a migration to IPv6. I think we have to promote IPv6 more, without technical words and lift up all the benefits which even end users understand and provide practical user cases where IPV6 is better than IPv4.

The promotion have to come to the same level so ordinary users can understand, and start asking for IPv6.

One way could be to setup a ipv6 subdomain at your host and only letting people with IPv6 to access that site, where you have little more stuff, If everyone does that the demand for ipv6 will increase.

I have done that. And hope that people starts asking what IPv6 is in my blog. I hope that i don’t have to mention it before people starts asking me.

Something must happen soon. IPv6 have only come to techsavy people at the moment. Let’s bring IPv6 to the ordinary users, but do it nice with the end users will.

Robert –

The deployment is low because the principal problem addressed by IPv6 (IPv4 address depletion) hasn’t yet occurred. The unfortunate part about this situation is that while many carriers and ISP’s are working on IPv6 internally, it’s not going to be until we absolutely need IPv6 that most enterprises and end-users are going to hear about this major transition. The reality is that we can’t keep growing the network without doing this, so it will occur. Current timeline for IPv4 depletion is available here: ; we’ve got about 3 years left.
