Conversion costs (staff time and expertise especially) have slowed conversion to IPv6. But the need for advanced functions is lately provided an incentive to make the switch. | ||
* [[IPv6]] - the most recent version of the Protocol. Deployment started around 2003 in some big operators. Initial deployment was slow. However, the exhaustion of available IPv4 addresses, combined with the rapid expansion of the number of Internet connected devices, has driven more rapid expansion recently. | * [[IPv6]] - the most recent version of the Protocol.
