The DoD deadline for upgrading all of its network infrastructure to IPv6 is quickly approaching. By the end of the month, all of DoD's Network infrastructure should be using the new IP standard, but are they really on track? In the meantime, China is also planning to convert all of its infrastructure to IPv6 across the country.

Don't be surprised if you have never heard of Ipv6, many network experts are still having a hard time with it, most of them have never even considered looking into it yet. If you are familiar with IPv4, an IP address looks something like 192.168.1.100 and for many is simple to remember. The equivalent IPv6 address looks something like fe80::213:2ff:feba:41ad/64 and forget trying to remember it!

We will soon see colleges and private training companies tarting to teach IPv6 classes and IPv4 to IPv6 migration courses. You can read about IPv6 on your own here and here.
