IPv6 now! (says OECD)
by Fredy Künzler
Even the OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) preaches now IPv6! ... and I guess when official institutions start to worry, it's serious. Functionaries usually don't tend to be fast movers.
I recently asked a fellow service provider about his IPv6 plans, and the answer was a bit ignorant: "noone is paying me to implement IPv6, therefore I don't have a project". Looking back to the early days of the Internet, a lot of research and test-implementations have been done withouth payment, and it became the foundation of a whole industry. Money should not be the focus when evaluating IPv6, at least for another year or so.
I gave a presentation at the recent SwiNOG #16 meeting about implementing IPv6 in a providers backbone. In fact, IPv6 is much easier than people generally think. If you are a network professional, everything you know about BGP, subnetting, OSPF etc. is still valid, at least more or less.
If you plan to deploy IPv6 anytime soon, click through the slides, they might be helpful (or download the IPv6 Now! presentation):
