  1. Can you nat ipv6 to ipv4? I’d still want my local network to be v4. In the new world of ipv6 does dns just become even that more important? Id also hope under ipv6 I could get basically unlimited public addresses for my network.

  2. What does “convert” mean? Hopefully it means dual stacking everything because the rest of the internet hasn’t fully adopted IPv6. Good luck to them if their plan is to move solely to IPv6.

    They should sell all of their IPv4 blocks as well. It’d be like watching a train wreck

  3. Good luck, I was there a few months ago and many computers were a mix of vista and up even in a somewhat major company.

    Anything IPv6 gets kicked down the road until they retire!

  4. I’ve been hearing this from lots of places since like 2k6! I believe it when I see it now! Lol

  5. The exact wording in the document is: deploy IPv6 to all internet infrastructure in Vietnam

    That doesn’t mean ditching IPv4 and moving everything toward IPv6. Now, I’m not well versed in Internet infrastructure, so I’m not sure what it means yet, but the document has absolutely nothing even remotely close to “convert”

    Souce: I’m Vietnamese.
