Business ISP Lumison has informed its customers that they "don't have to panic!" just yet because the provider is already well on the way to adding full native support for the new IPv6 internet addresses.

The update relates to how all of the remaining IPv4 internet address blocks have finally been allocated (here). As a result ISPs will ultimately need to adopt IPv6 if they are to keep adding new users and support the future needs of their existing customers.


As with other ISPs, Lumison has plenty of IPv4 address space spare; this should give them a nice cushion while adopting the new technology. We expect more ISPs to issue similar updates over the coming months and years.
