Roadmap Toward IPv6 Adoption for the Federal Government
In September 2010, OMB issued a memorandum requiring federal agencies to transition to Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) for public Internet servers and applications in use by the government. With deadlines for that transition coming in September 2012 and again in September 2014, the CIO Council is releasing an updated version of the "Planning Guide/Roadmap Toward IPv6 Adoption within the U.S. Government." (The Roadmap).
The Roadmap was jointly developed by the Federal Government and the American Council for Technology - Industry Advisory Council (ACT-IAC). The Roadmap will assist Federal agency leaders in this transition with practical and actionable industry and Federal agency best practice guidance on how to successfully integrate to the next generation Internet within their agencies.
The Roadmap has been updated from the original published in 2009 to provide the Federal Government's IPv6 history, vision, current goals, and deadlines. Based on the information provided in this document, agency Chief Information Officers, IPv6 Transition Managers, Chief Enterprise Architects, and Chief Acquisition Officers should assess their agency's progress towards IPv6 adoption. This includes critical assessment of their current transition plans.
