contemplate\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPv6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">IPv6<\/a>, they tend to get the false impression that they must make a full migration from using IPv4 exclusively to using IPv6 exclusively.\u00a0 They believe that their organization has to make a complete \u201cflip-the-switch\u201d cutover from using one protocol to the

noreferrer\">this is not the case<\/a>.\u00a0 The IETF knew early-on that the migration from using IPv4 to IPv6 would take time and, therefore, they created a variety of\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPv6#Transition_mechanisms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">transition mechanisms<\/a>\u00a0(<a href=\"http:\/\/tools.ietf.org\/html\/rfc4213\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">RFC 4213<\/a>).\u00a0 There were manual and automatic\/dynamic tunneling and translation mechanisms created, however, the predominant migration strategy was a dual-stack implementation.\u00a0 This is where both protocols are run in parallel for some time and then, eventually, IPv4 might be turned off at some point.\u00a0 Organizations will make their systems \u201cbilingual\u201d by adding IPv6 to the existing IPv4 network, run both protocols for many years then eventually start to pare back their IPv4 network, eventually leaving an IPv6-only network.<\/p>\n<p><strong>IPv4 Address Exhaustion Has Occurred<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile as organizations work on deploying IPv6 onto their networked environments,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPv4_address_exhaustion\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">IPv4 address depletion<\/a>\u00a0is continuing.\u00a0 The Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) have differing policies about how each of them has managed their finite IPv4 address resources and handled address allocations.\u00a0 Geoff Huston\u2019s \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.potaroo.net\/tools\/ipv4\/plotend.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">RIR IPv4 Address Run-Down Model<\/a>\u201d graph has been

IPv4 address depletion situation.\u00a0 The\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.lacnic.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">LACNIC<\/a>\u00a0region has experienced tremendous Internet growth and has exhausted their supply of addresses.\u00a0 It is expected that\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.arin.net\/resources\/request\/ipv4_countdown.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow

use of IPv6 has been growing substantially over the past five years.\u00a0 One look at the Google\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/intl\/en\/ipv6\/statistics.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">IPv6 Statistics \u2013 IPv6 Adoption<\/a>\u00a0graph shows the use of IPv6 from their vantage point.\u00a0 From this graph, it appears that IPv6 usage has been doubling every year.\u00a0 However, the vast majority of Internet traffic is still IPv4 and the vast majority of the Alexa 1M still use IPv4 only.\u00a0 The Hurricane Electric \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/bgp.he.net\/ipv6-progress-report.cgi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Global IPv6 Deployment Progress Report<\/a>\u201d states that while 19% of ASNs are advertising IPv6 routes, only 6% to 7% of web sites are running both IP protocols.\u00a0 From this data, we can conclude that if anyone wants to access the Internet, they will be unable to reach most destinations using an IPv6-only configuration.<\/p>\n<p><strong>No Plans to Turn Off IPv4<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Internet Service Providers and large enterprises are struggling with how they will continue their IPv4 operations for the indefinite future.\u00a0 The vast majority of organizations will need to continue their IPv4 usage for the next ten to twenty years.\u00a0 There are many IPv4-only systems within buildings and data-centers that will not be aged-out rapidly.\u00a0 Virtually all organizations have no current plans to disable IPv4.\u00a0 Therefore, organizations should ask themselves: Do we have enough IPv4 addresses to sustain our business for the next ten years?\u00a0 How do you even know what networking will be like in ten years from now?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Feeling the IPv4 Address Crunch<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There are many organizations that are running out of public IPv4 addresses and are starting to feel the crunch.\u00a0 Some very-large organizations are even running out of private addresses (<a href=\"https:\/\/tools.ietf.org\/html\/rfc1918\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">RFC 1918<\/a>) inside of their NATed environments.\u00a0 It is not uncommon for organizations to divide up their 10.0.0.0\/8-space into \/28s and smaller subnets.\u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"\/ipv6-coe\/the-fragmented-internet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">IPv4 prefix lengths<\/a>\u00a0are getting smaller and smaller.\u00a0 If your organization is either running out of public IPv4 addresses or starting to run out of private IPv4 address space, you are already behind the proverbial 8-ball.\u00a0 Most service providers will have no choice but to use some form of Carrier-Grade NAT\/Large-Scale NAT (<a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Carrier-grade_NAT\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">CGN\/LSN<\/a>) in the coming years, even though it may negatively impact applications (<a href=\"http:\/\/tools.ietf.org\/html\/rfc7021\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">RFC 7021<\/a>).\u00a0 As\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.asgard.org\/documents.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Lee Howard<\/a>\u00a0and Wesley George from Time Warner Cable have said, \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.cisco.com\/web\/about\/ac123\/ac147\/archived_issues\/ipj_15-2\/152_transition.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Therefore the best method to reduce the cost of Carrier-Grade NAT (CGN) deployment is to work to dep&#8230;<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>IPv6 Deployment Won\u2019t Help Your Near-Term IPv4 Crisis<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>All organizations should come to the conclusion that they must act quickly to deploy IPv6.\u00a0 The faster they deploy IPv6, the sooner they might be able to switch some systems to using IPv6-only.\u00a0 Any system that can be migrated to IPv6-only will have a benefit of freeing up an IPv4 address.\u00a0 For example, moving\u00a0<a class=\" bf_ungated_init\" href=\"http:\/\/www.txv6tf.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/Hamid-IPv6_for_Cable_Service_Providers.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">cable modem management<\/a>\u00a0to IPv6-only saves cable broadband providers IPv4 addresses that could be used for other purposes.<\/p>\n<p>It is conceivable that an organizations can try to aim to hit the sweet spot on the graph where IPv4 connectivity starts to get really bad, and IPv6 deployment\/implementation is starting to become more ubiquitous.\u00a0 Aiming for that point is a bit like steering the\u00a0<a
