There is still a long way to go until a ‘full’ IPv6 deployment has been completed at Lancaster, both in terms of supporting the key network services that would be expected in such a network and providing this section will outline the major steps that still need to be completed in order to complete the IPv6 deployment process.

This will begin by summarising the current state of IPv6 deployment and highlighting the, as yet, missing pieces of the deployment either due to one of the issues discussed in the previous section or because it has simply yet to be addressed. Thereafter we will focus on discussing our ongoing deployment from the immediate next steps to the ultimate long-term goals.
