The old internet addresses are running out. The new ones are ready. The hard part is getting from here to there without breaking anything along the way. IPv6Auto handles the transition — automatically rewriting firewall rules, updating name records, and planning new addresses — while keeping your existing network running the entire time.
Federal agencies have mandated it. Major carriers are rolling it out. Cloud providers are charging premiums for the old-style addresses because there aren't enough to go around. If you rent public internet addresses for your business, you've probably noticed the price creeping up year after year — that's supply and demand for a resource that's genuinely running out.
But migrating sounds terrifying. Every firewall rule, every name record, every service that references an address — all of it needs to be updated. And you can't just flip a switch. The old system has to keep working while the new one comes online, because your business can't afford a network outage while IT figures out — well, whatever it is they said they need more time to figure out. It made your head hurt.
The companies that figure this out early get access to virtually unlimited addresses, simpler network design, and compliance with federal mandates that are already in effect. The ones that wait will eventually be forced to migrate under pressure — which is when mistakes happen.
IPv6Auto runs both addressing systems simultaneously. Your existing services keep working on the old addresses while new addresses come online alongside them. Nothing breaks during the transition because nothing gets turned off — it's additive, not replacement.
The hardest part of any address migration is the firewall. Hundreds or thousands of rules that reference specific addresses — all of which need equivalent rules for the new addressing. IPv6Auto reads your existing rules, understands their intent, and generates the equivalent new-address rules automatically.
The new address space is enormous — large enough for every grain of sand on Earth to have its own address. That abundance can be paralyzing. IPv6Auto designs a sensible address plan based on your existing network layout, so you get a clean, logical scheme instead of a random assignment.
Every device that gets a new address also needs its name records updated so the rest of the network can find it. IPv6Auto handles name record creation and updates as part of the migration, so addresses and names stay synchronized throughout the transition.
Federal mandates require specific implementation standards. IPv6Auto validates your deployment against those standards and generates compliance reports — so when the auditor asks "are you IPv6 compliant?", you have documentation, not a conversation.
Because both addressing systems run simultaneously, you can back out any change without impacting the existing network. The old addresses never stop working until you explicitly retire them. If something unexpected happens, you remove the new addresses and you're back where you started.
A phased approach that keeps your network running at every step. No big-bang cutover. No weekend outage windows.
IPv6Auto surveys your current network — addresses, firewall rules, name records, routing, and services. It identifies what needs to change, what's already compatible, and what will require special handling.
Based on your network layout, IPv6Auto generates a logical address plan. Subnets, allocations, and assignments are designed to be clean and maintainable — not just technically correct but operationally sensible.
Existing firewall rules are analyzed and translated to work with the new addresses. The translation preserves intent — "allow the accounting department to reach the financial server" stays the same, even though the addresses change.
New addresses are deployed alongside existing ones in controlled phases. Core infrastructure first, then servers, then workstations. Each phase is validated before the next one begins.
Every deployed address is verified to be reachable and functioning. Services are tested on both addressing systems. Any failures are caught during the validation phase, not after you've committed.
Generates documentation showing your implementation meets federal and industry standards. Updated automatically as the deployment progresses, so your compliance status is always current.
IPv6Auto gets you compliant without disrupting your existing network. Both addressing systems run simultaneously, so your team keeps working while the migration happens around them. When the auditor checks, you hand them a compliance report generated automatically — not a PowerPoint deck and a promise.
Every new office, every IoT sensor, every employee's laptop needs an address. You've been subdividing and recycling the old addresses, but the workarounds are getting complicated. IPv6Auto migrates you to a system where addresses are effectively unlimited — so you stop managing scarcity and start managing growth.
The market for old-style internet addresses is a seller's market, and it's getting worse. Every year you renew, the price is higher. IPv6Auto migrates your infrastructure to the new addressing so you can release expensive leased addresses and reduce a cost that only goes in one direction. And if your ISP or a branch office network is slow on the uptake — and some will be — that's OK. IPv6Auto sets up tunneling, compatibility, and translation layers until they're up to speed. You don't wait for the slowest link in the chain to modernize before you start saving money.
The global pool of old-style internet addresses is finite and nearly exhausted. Organizations that still depend on leased addresses will pay more every year, with no ceiling in sight. The organizations that migrate early lock in effectively free addressing for the life of their network.
Federal IPv6 mandates were the first wave. State-level requirements, industry-specific standards, and international regulations are following. Organizations that wait for each mandate will migrate in a panic. Organizations that migrate proactively do it once, on their own schedule.
Internet providers have been using shared-address schemes to stretch the old address supply. Those workarounds cause problems — broken video calls, gaming issues, remote access failures. As more providers hit those limits, the push to native new-style addressing accelerates. Being ready means your services work cleanly when the rest of the internet catches up.
IPv6Auto is priced per network segment. Start with your public-facing infrastructure and expand inward. Assessment and address planning are included in every engagement.
