ofcourse every access provider could ditch ipv4 -right now- with the following mechanism: 1: take a /96 of your own ipv6 space 2: translate this 1:1 to the entire ipv4 address space (dos boxes with packet driver and some assembly/c code, modified linux kernel, programmable logic arrays in a hardware implementation, whatever) (ask any dude with experience in kernel/assembly programming in your company to code that stuff, its not that hard, normal LACP/803ad over 8 or so of these "bridges/translators" should spread the load just fine if it needs to be more than 1 or 10ge in one go ;) (as the mtu of ipv6 is 1280, ofcourse the tcpmss should be adjusted and DF cleared incoming and outgoing on the ipv4 end ;) 3: code a dns resolver that translates the A requests into AAAA answers (and passes on the AAAA requests unmodified to a normal one ;) 4: ??? 5: profit! only thing that won't work are protocols that don't support ipv6 because they are a seperate program that didn't implement it yet. so if you REALLY cannot get ipv4 anymore and need space for your customers and still want to give them the full internet, this is the way to go ;) if you're going to NAT them anyway, you might as well NAT them from ipv6 to the old ipv4 stuff (instead of ipv4->ipv4 ;) i don't see any out of the box solutions on the market, specificially for the "dns part" tho. for content providers, indeed, the loadbalancers should be able to deal with the "gatewaying" part just fine, nothing to change there on the actual servers. it's not exactly rocket science ppl, get on with it. -- Greetings, Sven Olaf Kamphuis, CB3ROB Ltd. & Co.

Happened in 2008 nuff said
not happening in 2012, really lame (not just BBC site)
Every large site today being served by load balancers today can turn on ipv6
I know, we can, I had it running for v6 day. If we'd started a year ago it could have been in the plan for this June but Vint said 2013 and no other announcements were made until Jan. Too late, ops had already decided making it production wasn't high enough up their list until of stuff that really must work for the Olympics.
Tough, would have been good to do.
