Analytical Analysis and Mitigation Strategies for Catalyzing the Adaption of IPv6

Internet Protocol version 6 popularly known as IPv6 has been in existence for almost two decades now. However, the adaption, implementation and use of IPv6 across the world has been very slow. Infact the adaption and explosion of IPv4 networks was better if not faster than the rollout of IPv6 networks. IPv6 which is a future networking protocol has many advantages and is much superior than its predecessor, the IPv4 – yet the rollout is not only sluggish, the full-fledged enablement of the IPv6 functionality is still far off. This paper trying to identify the reasons for the slow adaption of the IPv6 protocol across networks, devices and applications and how to overcome them.
