Weekend Project: Transition to IPv6

,----[ Quote ]
| The Linux Kernel and Utilities
| 
| The Linux kernel has supported IPv6 since 
| the very beginning, around 1996, and has 
| adapted to keep up with the revisions and 
| enhancements of IPv6-related RFCs over the 
| years. Today, virtually no Linux 
| distribution ships a kernel that does not 
| include the IPv6 module compiled and 
| loaded by default. You can test for its 
| presence in several ways, though. The 
| simplest is to look inside the /proc/net/ 
| directory; if /proc/net/if_inet6 (and 
| other entries) are present, the IPv6 
| module is loaded. If not, you can load it 
| with modprobe ipv6.

| IPv4 addresses are running out. There is no
| second opinion about this â at the current
| rate of allocation, there will be no
| unallocated addresses by the end of 2011.
| Even if some of the large allocated, but
| unused ranges will be given up by their
| current owners, this could only delay the
| exhaustion by a very limited time. And after
| that, any newcomers to the Internet wishing
| to have IPv4 connectivity will either have to
| negotiate to purchase blocks of addresses
| from someone, or use whatever addresses their
| provider gives them, which increasinly will
| be fewer and fewer addresses, or none at all,
| if their ISP has implementedâ

IPv6 Makes Slow Progress

| IPv6 will save the internet--eventually.
|
| The Internet needs saving because, eventually, there will need to be enough
| IP addresses to connect mobile Internet devices for every person on the
| planet, all computers, and all network devices, with enough space left over
| to connect TVs, video players, and even alarm clocks to the Internet.
