IPv4 will still exist for the next 10 years I think. The full deployment of IPv6 will probably take a decade. Most ISPs are already prepared to support both IPv4 and IPv6. Some do 'dual-stack' and NAT to interoperate.

I would assume that there are still unused IPv4 addresses in the "reserves" of telcos, ISPs, and hosting providers, and that prices for these addresses would skyrocket in the short term. But if you have an Internet server, IPv6 capability just became a necessity. --- mike t.

I know that Linux has IPv6 built in. Will my server, which has an IPv4 address, work transparently when my ISP (PLDT) switches (if ever) to IPv6? Or do I need to do some more tweaking? _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List http://lists.linux.org.ph/mailman/listinfo/plug Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List http://lists.linux.org.ph/mailman/listinfo/plug Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
