Deployment of IPv6

Pawel and Francisco talks about how IPv4 address is exhausted and how IPv6 works: Basic specifications and transmission mechanisms.

The depletion of the pool of unallocated IPv4 addresses force the evolution to a new IP version. IP version 6 has headers differences with his predecessor and new characteristics: h IPsec mandatory, simplified processing in routers, mobility, Jumbograms and end-to-end connectivity (reduce the cost).

About the transition mechanism, the migration provides address translation (interconnection between Ipv4) and Ipv6 domains (SIID). They also provide tunnels to connect Ipv6 via Ipv4 clouds.

In conclusion, as sooner as we implement Ipv6, the better profits in ICT we will have. But they have to take into account that not every member of a market has a motivation to implement new solutions.
