>> Telstra has extended the availability of IPv6 services to its business ADSL customers. It announced that it was allowing SME customers to opt-in to using the newer internet protocol. 
>> 
>> The carrier's migration from IPv4 to IPv6 is being done gradually and follows the availability of IPv6 in the Telstra Internet Direct network in 2011 and the Telstra Next IP network in 2012.
>> 
>> David Robertson, Telstra director of transport and routing engineering, said that consumer services would also follow. “We have a long-term roadmap for deploying IPv6 capability into our networks and are pleased that many of our business customers can use this new service to support the transition of their networks to IPv6. The deployment of IPv6 into Telstra’s network is an on-going program of work, and we’ll make this available for other services such as fixed consumer and our wireless networks over time,” Robertson said. 
>> 
>> “As stocks of IPv4 addresses diminish globally, we need to continue moving to the new addressing sys- tem. By dual stacking IPv4 and IPv6 in our network, customers can opt into IPv6 in their own time, and according to the lifecycle upgrade of their own equipment. We’re developing the network capability so customers can commence the move to IPv6 as it suits them,” he suggested. 
>> 
>> “In coming years we expect that IPv6 will become the norm and customers will need to opt-out if they wish to use IPv4. However as we start this transition, we’ll be working directly with customers to support
>> them as they make this change,” Robertson explained.
