But Why? what crisis will happen if the transition to ipv6 is slow? the move from ipv4 to ipv6 will be based upon necessity. please mention other resources that point towards some crisis. when ipv4 and ipv6 can coexist i wonder if the transition will ever fully complete. and your router only really needs to have partial compatibility with ipv6, say your ISP moves to a full Ipv6 system. Then your router will be required to accept an ipv6 address for its wan IP. however, since you will be subnetting to any other computer that connects to that router, you can use ipv4.

If you’re looking for a great router that can support ipv6 and will also have to ability to adapt to other standards if the internet i recommend the linksys wrt-54 g or one of its many variants, then simply install the DD-WRT firmware on the system. its excellent.

Actually it makes perfect sense. I realize the thing about NAT making things not quite so urgent and I understand that the Net isn’t going to explode when ipv4 runs out.

However, I also think that there needs to be more being done about this than there is. A Lot more.

this post doesn’t make sense. its not like the world is instantly going to change to ipv6 the second we use the last ipv4 addresses. ipv4 and ipv6 can coexist thanks to the beauties of NAT. large organizations can implement ipv6 while the backbone is based off of ipv4. this allows for a seemless transition.
