RE: End of IPv4 !!

A lot of service providers already have IPv6 backbones, companies such as
Google already host IPv6 content parallel to their IPv4 systems and I think
it's NTT Docomo that only assigns IPv6 addresses to mobile customers and no
IPv4...

In Australia a company called Internode are leading deployments to customer
for dual and single stack IPv6 to the home as well:
http://ipv6.internode.on.net/ (Note the Cisco configs for CPE)

So it's a reality and as more content goes v6 over the next year we'll see
more enterprises start to adopt as well.

Hi Fellas,

Its been a while since I hear that IPv4 is going off soon, back in the days
when I started with IP addressing and Subnetting it was the first thing I
read. I know NAT has brought us this far and I wonder till what time we will
be using IPv4.

I've heard China has largest setup of IPv6 setup, Federal department in US
has started using it since 2005, and India is working on many deployment
projects of IPv6.

Personally I feel that Cisco world is not ready for IPv6 yet completely, as
things are not designed the way those are for IPv4, making IPv6 depending on
IPv4. When I was working on IPv6 for my CCIE and worked very hard on it, but
never used it after lab and now I have to open Cisco document if I am
discussing on IPv6.
Having said this, what you guys think about IPv6 and Cisco IPv6 future, I
know its gonna be there but when do you think we'll be fully indulged into
it ?
