IPv6 is the next generation Internet protocol and replaces the current IPv4 addressing. The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) has mandated that all DoD networks transition to IPv6. The DoD IPv6 Memorandum has set the timetable for this transition.

• Oct 2003: all DoD IT assets must be IPv6 capable
  
• FY 05 - 07: segments must transition
  
• Pilot implementations, demonstrations must be conducted
