Agencies should plan now to enable IPv6 on public-facing servers
American Registry for Internet Numbers president expects federal mandate soon for agencies to begin enabling new protocols on public-facing Web servers
The pool of available IPv4 addresses will be completely allocated in the not-too-distant future.
“It will happen 717 days from today, around 2 in the afternoon, just before tea time,†said John Curran, president of the American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN).
Or it might be in just 657 days; it depends on whose countdown clock you use. The point is, given the current rate of Internet growth, in about two years all new address assignments will be made with IPv6 addresses.'
