I’m sure a lot of you already knew that we are running out of IPv4 IPs, thus the need to shift to IPv6.

Just check this IPv4 stats out:

ISPs, I wouldn’t expect them to do anything about it anytime soon, especially here in the Philippines.

What they’ll do is just setup 6to4 or 6in4 on their end, and maybe IPv6-native will be deployed at a much later time once their customers are upgraded to IPv6-capable modems and routers.

That’s the biggest problem right now for the ISPs, there are so few (and those few are mostly buggy to this date) modem/routers that are IPv6 capable. But if you really want to start connecting to IPv6, setup a tunnel, easiest for everyone –> http://gogo6.com

Or hack your modem/router if it’s DD-WRT / OpenWRT compatible :p (then install your tunnel there, since no local ISPs offer IPv6-native yet anyway). Consider your security too, last I checked, there are no out-of-the-box IPv6-compatible firewalls yet.

Regardless, the transition should be transparent for most users. For the next decade or so, we’ll see dual-stack setups (IPv4+IPv6), after that transition period, that’s the only time we’ll truly see an IPv6-only Interwebs (and start seeing 4to6 or 4in6 if there are still IPv4-only sites).

Most (if not all) of us, no IPv6 detected talaga kasi mga ISP naten di pa configured para dun. So depende sa ISP kung configured na DNS nila o hindi pa. Mostly nga, if not all, hindi pa.
