IPv6 is the next generation Internet Protocol (IP) standard intended to eventually replace IPv4. IT executives must consider what will happen when migrating their organizations to the latest version. Most haven’t budgeted for the transition, and implementation is hard to justify on a return-on-investment (ROI) basis because it’s is a cost without obvious financial benefit. Some leaders want to buy more IPv4 addressees to postpone the IPv6 migration, which works now. But sooner or later, the IPv6 transition must be completed.
