摘要

In the first paper for this issue of JRPIT, "Australian IPv6 Readiness: Results of a National Survey", author Peter Dell "recommends that governments and regulatory bodies should consider regulatory or policy action to encourage the diffusion of IPv6" to mitigate "potential for considerable disadvantage for Australian organisations" due to the IPv4 address space having been almost entirely consumed by 2011. "IPv6 is the replacement for the Internet's incumbent protocol, IPv4." The study in this paper is the first "empirical assessment of end-user organisations' readiness for IPv6, and reveals that organisations have not made significant preparations for its adoption in the future."
