What is the estimate for small and large sized organization? Are the transition mechanisms the same for these organizations? Thanks and awaiting reply. Edu

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

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.

The promises continue to be just that, many years on...

A reasonable plan.

Indeed, but if you can get your backbone ready that'll be a huge step. All the best. Cheers, Mark.
