Does anyone know the average period for IPv6 deployment. What is the 
estimate for small and large sized organization?


We're working on it since about 13 years...

Are the transition mechanisms the same for these organizations?


Which transition mechanisms make sense are very much different depending
on the organization type, network structure, existing hardware, and
on the *goals* to be reached (as in "have IPv6 everywhere" or "enable
IPv6 at some key network elements, e.g. the internet facing proxy").

For us, "dual-stack everywhere" is the way to go, but this will be
very different for other organizations.

Hi,
If I can help you we're starting to delivery ipv6 on our backbone (about 90 PE). Our infrastucture is mpls but the ipv6 mpls control plane isn't yet implemented by vendors so we chosen implement dual-stack on GRT followed by 6VPE (dual-stack) for vpn mpls.
The plan to deploy was divided:
1) Planning
2) Upgrade backbone
3) Deploy
Total time: 2 years for backbone

Other problem is related to customers. We can't force to change or upgrade the end-point devices ($$!!) so the time delivery for customers will be longer.

Isacco
