What level are we at now? Also where can I get "real time" status on this info?

IPv6 Network Integration Phases
IPv4-Dominant: Most network traffic is IPv4, the routing/control plane is running IPv4, and IPv6 service is provided via tunnels and other transition mechanisms through the IPv4-only parts of the network.
IPv6-Capable: The network, hosts, servers, and applications have been upgraded to a full dual stack and are capable of running IPv6. Both v4 and v6 share the network as equal partners.
IPv6-Dominant: Most network traffic is IPv6, the routing/control plane is running IPv6, and IPv4 service is provided via tunnels and other transition mechanisms through the IPv6-only parts of the network.
IPv6-Only: The network, hosts, servers, and applications have been fully upgraded to IPv6 and IPv4 has been deactivated.

Brooklyn, NY | Well I think that is obvious: IPv4-dominant, and while a lot of gear is ipv6 capable it just isn't even enabled. | |

| You just have to be patient. It might take decades, but it WILL happen. I have read that Vista will have IPv6 enabled by default and that you won't be able to disable it. If that is true, then when Vista's market penetration reaches 90% or so, there will me nothing to stop MSN from switching new customers over completely to IPv6 and allowing them access to the legacy IPv4 network through protocol translation and NAT.
In the mean time the protocol is being standardized and, you might say, "cemented in place."
Of course I can't predict the future, but I have a feeling that when the switch happens, it will happen fast. "IPv6" will suddenly be the hottest buzzword on the block, and anything not buzzword-compliant will be ditched. I keep seeing more and more IPv6 as the years go by, so just hang in there. | |
