That means that if one system only speaks IPv4 and the other only IPv6, then they cannot directly talk to each other. You need some kind of translation mechanism between them. There are such solutions, and I'm sure you'll find useful pointers in the "links" section. @Damian: Ask your favourite ISP if they have such plans :-) Better yet, demand it from them :-) Robert @Clint: IPv4 and IPv6 are not compatible “on the wire”.

For now it seems that IPv6 and IPv4 subnetworks are perfectly isolated. Is there any migration plan for IPv4 only based network?

It appears that you could overlay the new IPv6 over the older IPv4 and just handle via attrition and migration. I know future devices will have to be developed to handle IPv6, but there has to be away to migrate the current IPv4 scheme to IPv6. Call me an idiot, but whay am I missing here?
