IPv4 to IPv6 transition

IPv4 to IPv6 transition

With the depletion on public IPv4 addresses, transition to IPv6 is only a matter of time. This transition can be a daunting prospect for your organization; identifying where IPv6 will be utilized, use of dual-stack where IPv4 and IPv6 will co-exist, use of tunneling mechanisms to route IPv6 traffic through an IPv4 cloud and NAT translation of IPv6 to IPv4 and vice versa all need to be understood and assessed.
