I can't imagine any government to require anyone to support IPv6, one
particular protocol, explicitly, and even less to require anyone to shut
down still-working IPv4. If you can't even convince technical people to
migrate, how will you get majorities in a Parliament for this? This is
just not going to happen, hands down.

Although it may be a good thing in this particular case, I think
requiring usage of one particular technology by law (a protocol or
something else) is dangerous. Imaginge they made a law that required
companies to adopt IPv4 and shut down their X.25 or whatever they had
before. Maybe it would have been nice to have such a law in the 80s and
90s, but what about today? It's hard enough to get rid of a protocol
that's not required by law.

Companies just need to _feel_ that IPv4 isn't going to get them very far
anymore and that it's better to prepare for the future now because its
better to have options rather than to need them when the time has come.

[ipv6-wg] (IETF I-D) Implications of IPv6 Addressing on Security Operations (Fwd: New Version Notification for draft-ietf-opsec-ipv6-addressing-00.txt)

[Fernando Gont]

Folks,

The IETF OPSEC WG has adopted our IETF I-D entitled "Implications of 
IPv6 Addressing on Security Operations". This is the same material I 
presented at the last IPv6 WG meeting in Rotterdam 
(https://ripe86.ripe.net/programme/meeting-plan/ipv6-wg/).


The IETF-ID is available at:

 * TXT: 

 * HTML: 




We have tried to make the document as practical as possible for anyone 
doing security operations. Your comments and suggestions will be highly 
appreciated.


P.S.: Thanks to those of you that sent feedback for previous revision of 
this document, by the way!


Regards,
Fernando

Revision:   00
Title:  Implications of IPv6 Addressing on Security Operations
Document date:  2023-06-02
Group:  opsec
Pages:  13

Abstract:
   The increased address availability provided by IPv6 has concrete
   implications on security operations.  This document discusses such
   implications, and sheds some light on how existing security
   operations techniques and procedures might need to be modified
   accommodate the increased IPv6 address availability.
