The article states the need and importance of the migration from IPv4 to IPv6. All the information that this article contains was obtained from bibliographic research in several books and online papers, just as a survey with the people responsible for some companies’ IT Department, in which we were able to attain a thorough analysis about the migration from IPv4 to IPv6. The currently situation of companies’ systems have been unreasonably unstable with Carrier Grade Network Address Translation - CGNAT, a technique used by internet service providers to share IPv4 public addresses inside private network addresses. Some research indicates that a large amount of IT professionals are suitable to use the IPv6 migration system as well as states that there are several resources and technics for implementation of this new system, however there has to be caution while using dual stacks and tunnels from the more recent system, the IPv6, because some services still are operated by the older system, the IPv4, as long as it continues existing and being used. Nowadays, several internet providers have adopted a new way of using the IPv4 and the IPv6, but the industry lacks business owners or internet managers with the right conscious to obtain the equipment’s that endure the migration to IPv6.
