1) IPv4 addresses are running out as the number of internet devices grows exponentially. IPv6 is needed to support continued growth. 2) IPv6 is already deployed on large networks like Google and Verizon Wireless and works well, with over 50% of traffic delivered via IPv6 to some sites. 3) IPv6-only networks can support all applications, including those requiring IPv4 like Skype, through technologies like NAT64 and 464XLAT address translation which allow IPv6-only devices to access IPv4 internet resources.
