A Review: Breaking the Deadlocks for Transition to IPv6

ABSTRACT This paper analyses the technical and non-technical obstacles that block the widespread deployment of IPv6 on the Internet (at both sides: end-users and Internet Service Providers (ISPs)). It reviews the current basic and standard IPv6 transition mechanisms that have been proposed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). The paper also suggests transparent, auto-configured, and cost-effective solutions for both end-users and ISPs parties, and compares them with the current techniques to allow a smooth and successful widespread deployment of IPv6.
