Abstract:
This study analyzes experiences of several large enterprises that had deployed IPv6 addresses. Key factors on the success and failure of IPv6 addresses deployment were synthesized from findings from those enterprises. This research utilizes qualitative method, both inductive and deductive reasoning along with design science approach. Seven guidelines of design science method are followed strictly for better end results. Open-ended interviews will be data collection methods of the study. Documents, such as articles, books, and websites also provide lots of information. Content analysis helps the authors to look directly into context of documents to find the core meaning. The content of this study was examined on two scales: technical side and managerial side. Findings upon data collected reveal several significant factors, which affect IPv6 addresses implementation project. Hence, a solution, the most applicable transition method was concluded. This method was then tested on a virtual environment simulating a large network model. It was proven to be working.
