THE IPV6 REVOLUTION: ARE WE READY?
Today the Internet is at the center of all initiative worldwide. It’s like nothing can happen without it. Millions ofbusinesses, organizations, networks, and initiatives are hooked up by the Internet and out of a sudden; we are informed that the protocol that makes it possible for computers and networks to communicate one to another is outdated! The game has been declared over for IPV4. Though some preventive measures have been taken to avert any form of black out of websites and freezing of networks as a result of this transition, we still have to wait and see. In my country, only two companies are up to date with IPV6.
Netsquared members in Cameroon are wondering what will happen to the Netsquared Network as from 1am tomorrow. Will the network continue online? Are there any technical adjustments made to anticipate any collateral damage during the transition from IPV4 to IPV6?
I was googling and came through some guidelines on the IPV6. I think this might be helpful to anyone curious to know more on the IPV6?
How do I know my system is IPV6 ready?
