The debate over whether there are enough IPv4 addresses left has come to a decisive end. Millions
of devices and applications coming online over the last several years have almost used up

In Part I of the Peak 10 IPv6 Primer Series, we outlined the steps companies should take to prepare
for the inevitable transition to IPv6: a readiness assessment, budget projection and timeline schedule.
In Part II, we take a closer look at the pros and cons of three technology stop-gap measures that can
help companies operate in both an IPv4 and IPv6 landscape until the eventual day when every online
device is IPv6-native.
