- "Successful introduction of IPv6, first in specific geographic and fields of application, and later in the core of the network, is one of the most strategic requirements for the continued growth of the Internet. ISOC will continue to support relevant standards work, will support related education and training activities, and will be watchful for any public policy issues affecting the deployment of IPv6." ISOC Member Briefing #6 The Transition to IPv6 Jan 2002
IPv6
- "The 32-bit address field in the IPv4 packet header provides about 4 billion (4x109) unique Internet addresses.40 The 128-bit address header in IPv6, in contrast, provides approximately 3.4x1038 addresses, enough to assign literally trillions of addresses to each person now on earth or even to every square inch of the earth's surface."

- IETF RFC 1752 (see note 2, supra) estimates that IPv4 address space will be exhausted "between 2005 and 2011" and notes relevant assumptions underlying this estimate, which was made in 1993. While estimated dates for potential exhaustion of the IPv4 address space vary widely, a calculation made more recently by Christian Huitema purports to confirm the RFC 1752 timeframe projection. In his view, "we are again facing a crisis. We must either deploy IPv6 or risk a strange evolution of the Internet toward a set of disconnected networks." Christian Huitema, Routing in the Internet 366 (2d ed. 2000). Information relating to allocation of IPv4 and IPv6 addresses is provided by the American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN).

Telecommunications System standard (UMTS) from the 3rd Generation
Partnership Project (3GPP), which develops standards for advanced
mobile networks. Specifically, UMTS Release 5 mandates IPv6 in all
handsets and the 3G Internet Multimedia Subsystem is defined to run
only on IPv6." [AT&T New Gen IP]

Specifically, this document recommends that the 3GPP specify that multiple prefixes may be assigned to each primary PDP context, require that a given prefix must not be assigned to more than one primary PDP context, and allow 3GPP nodes to use multiple identifiers within those prefixes, including randomly generated identifiers.")
- IPv6 in Mobile Wireless Networks , CISCO White Papers (nd) (" Wireless data services are expected to encourage the adoption of Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) because of the quickly expanding number of IP-addressable devices. These services are expected to increase with the move to the Third-Generation Partnership Program Universal Mobile Telephony System Technical Specifications (3GPP UMTS), including the adoption of Internet Multimedia Services (IMS). Smooth transition to IPv6 in IP backbones, and possibly later in the Radio Access Network (RAN), is the goal stated in 3GPP specifications. ")
