Heck, something needs to drive it. IPv6 has stagnated for years. The IT
industry isn't going to migrate based on altruistic motives--it's always
been based on when it would become financially beneficial to do so. That
shouldn't come as any surprise to anyone. Business is always driven by
the bottom line. Those that aren't go out of business--it's that simple.
Realistically, it only appears that this is the DoD telling their vendors
that if they market products using IPv6, then they'd better use it at some
level. This is NOT the DoD forcing the entire IT industry to become IPv6,
no matter what the title of the article is. It may develop to that over
time, but that's completely different.
Even if IPv6 becomes prevelant or even mandatory on DoD networks, that
certainly doesn't spell the demise of IPv4 on the commercial side.
