Thank You for responding. If mid to small companies have equipment made in the last 7 years, they will not need to replace equipment. Most net admins at the mid to small companies have no idea about IPV6. Cost is a major consideration at the mid to small size companies, if they need to upgrade equipment. The difference between IPV4 and IPV6 for someone not familiar is huge, 1. There is a totally new format dotted decimal to colon. 2. The 32 bit to 128 bit is/or can be quite challenging for some net admins.
I can get most network admins over both of those hurdles (and the other more meaningful ones) in a 45 minute training session. Yes, I've done so many times, so I know it works. For those with more complex needs, a two-day training course can take someone from marginally proficient in IPv4 to reasonably proficient in IPv6 for both Network and Systems administration. With a small amount of conceptual knowledge, the differences between IPv4 and IPv6 become very very small. Owen
