The United States government’s IPv6 mandate means anyone wanting to sell computing or networking hardware or software to the government must be able to support IPv6. Most data center operators realized that a failure to support IPv6 will eventually restrict access to connected resources and promote inefficient communications, not to mention limit potential customers that require IPv6. There are immediate benefits in transitioning to IPv6 in the form of improved network topologies and security.
