GAO Report on Gov't Transition to Internet Protocol Version 6

by on

Internet Protocol Version 6: Federal Government in Early Stages of Transition and Key Challenges Remain, Full text GAO-06-675, and Highlights, June 30, 2006.

  • “The Internet protocol (IP) provides the addressing mechanism that defines how and where information such as text, voice, music, and video move across interconnected networks…Federal agencies have taken steps in planning for the transition to IPv6, but several have not completed key activities. For example, almost all of the 24 major agencies have assigned an official to lead and coordinate the IPv6 transition. However, ten agencies had not developed IPv6-related policies and enforcement mechanisms. Until agencies complete key activities, their transition planning efforts risk not being successful.”
