Naturally, networks concerned with IPv4 address exhaustion (such as huge, IP-based cell telephone networks) will convert to IPv6 right away, as large networks in China have.

The IPv6 transition in your organization, more likely than not, involves bringing IPv6 into a mix that also includes IPv4. Here’s a look at what that means and how to make it work.
