RE: US DoD and IPv6

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Gentlemen:

The IPv6 deployment is what it is and nobody is to blame that it isn't greater or less than it is. It should not surprise anybody that IPv6 hasn't been more widely deployed to date, because, after all, I explained back in 1993 in RFC 1687 why that would happen. 

Going forward, there are many business reasons why IPv6 will increasingly become deployed and many business reasons why IPv4 use will actually grow. Thus, we can be assured that the Internet will be a mixed environment for the next many years to come. We have many existing technologies and approaches that handle such mixed environments. There is no reason to be upset -- this is the most probable result to the IPv4 address depletion problem. No surprises here.

Best wishes,

--Eric
