Only a third of global ISPs on the way to IPv6 compliance
Only a third of the world's top 21 Internet Service Providers (ISPs) have begun the move to IPv6, according to Latif Ladid, president of the IPv6 Forum.
Speaking at the IPv6 Summit in Canberra yesterday, Ladid said IPv6 continues to come under attack from multiple fronts forming part of the "world wars" of the Internet.
"We [Internet professionals] have to do everything to fight those wars, and not have another one as well." he said. Part of this skepticism, according to Ladid, is caused by so-called experts in the Internet community yet to reach a consensus on the best method of transition from IPv4 to IPv6.
