UK ISP Lumison Preparing Native IPv6 Support for Later in 2011

Posted: 11th Feb, 2011 By: MarkJ
ipv6uk business isp lumisonBusiness 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.

Lumison Statement

Lumison is preparing for the IPv6 roll-out in two ways:
1) We have applied for and received an IPv6 allocation. Lumison network engineers are preparing our routers and systems for deployment of IPv6, and we expect to be able to offer native IPv6 service to our customers later in the year.

2) Lumison has just received a further /19 IPv4 allocation (over 8000 addresses) from the regional registry. This means Lumison will be able to keep assigning new IPv4 addresses to our customers for several years, allowing our customers to migrate to IPv6 at a time that suits you rather than having to rush to migrate in the next few months.
Therefore, Lumison customers are well placed to make the switch to IPv6. Not only will you be able to begin adding IPv6 capability to your networks this year, but we still have plenty of IPv4 addresses if you plan to take a little longer to make the switch.

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.
