Except for the fact that one will most likely get a /48, there really is not much of a difference in IPv4 versus IPv6. There exist DHCPv6 and DHCP (for IPv4), routing protocols are the same, DNS is the same. The only thing is that IPv6 addresses are longer and thus are more inconvienient to remember. For ther rest what will actually lighten the load? Note also that inplace prodedures for updating all IPv4 tools to also support IPv6 is not a lot of fun... <SNIP> > Note that IPv6 requires a working IPv4 stack to be present in order to > function properly. Why would a host require IPv4? That for instance Linux 'design' doesn't allow it because IPC uses IPv4 in some cases doesn't mean one have to have IPv6 on all platforms. > You can't set up an IPv6 host that cannot be assigned > an IPv4 address.

What is different between a host without IPv4 support and one without an IPv4 address (including loopbacks)? <SNIP> > > My Transition means Ipv4 network can be cut off in > > some date.

There are really a lot more transition mechanisms than dual-stack, check for instance: http://www.join.uni-muenster.de/Dokumente/Howtos/Howto_TRT.php?lang=en > The day IPv6 can reach about 75% of the net, your plan might be viable.
