Talk To Your Internet Service Provider
Martin Levy of Hurricane Electric discusses providing their customers with IPv6 services.
Most businesses rely on an Internet Service Provider (ISP) for their connection to the Internet. Your own network’s IPv6 requirements and deployment schedule will be contingent upon your upstream provider’s IPv6 deployment, so it is important that you understand what your ISP can provide and when.
Some questions that you might ask your service provider:
- Do you currently provide IPv6 connectivity?
- If not, when do you plan to deploy IPv6 on your customer networks? What is your deployment timeline?
- When will our website be available over IPv6?
- Do you provide customers with IPv6-compatible modems, or other devices necessary for connecting over IPv6?
- Why have you not provided information for your customers on IPv6 and the requirements from our side to be ready?
