This resource guide covers everything you need to know about IPv6, including why it matters, why it's complicated, and what you need to do.

IPv6 has been "a thing" for decades, but v4 is still the standard for IP addressing/routing. As PO1 Andrew Gardiner mentioned, all the public v4 IPs will be assigned / not available, so v6 will have to become the standard. With everything becoming web-enabled, it's a mathematical certainty.

In most cases it will be implemented within the next 10 years, I expect some exceptions to be made at the "tactical edge" where replacing old equipment just for this capability would be a huge waste of money.
