New Momentum for IPv6 Deployment IPv6 has been in the collective backlog for years, but new government and structural pressure has sped up the pace of migration from IPv4 to IPv6. According to John Brzozowski, chief architect of IPv6 and Distinguished Engineer with Comcast, "You should already be on your way or at least thinking about your IPv6 deployment...You will have to do something to make your business operate on the Internet." Brzozowski’s statement appeared in a December 2012 Network World article that also proclaimed: “This [2011] was the year that IPv6 garnered major headlines, but 2012 is expected to be the year when the next-generation Internet protocol gets widely deployed by U.S. carriers and enterprises.”
