So the days are numbered for IPv4. In writing about IPv6 this year, I've talked to network professionals in all stages of deployment from denial (we have plenty of IPv4 address, what do we care?) to a few who not only have IPv6 websites, but have some IPv6 running on their internal networks.

I expect the vast majority of enterprises are still in the earliest, research phase, given that not all software and gear shipping today even supports IPv6 yet (like Cisco's ASA). But I thought I'd ask with this survey. Can you share this link with your friends in the industry? I'll leave the survey running until I get 200 responses, or July 31, whichever comes first. Then we'll report on it and publish the full results as a series of PDF reports for those who want them.

It's only eight questions total, including one spot for optional comments, and two demographic questions. Should take a mere five minutes to complete. It's all on one page, too.

This survey is completely anonymous and hosted by a third-party site, so we won't know who you are. If you have questions or comments about IPv6 or the survey, please feel free to e-mail them to me, too. jbort@nww.com
