Experts make a solid business case for IPv6

Pre-submitted question: What are your thoughts about and in what ways will it be important? With its large customer base, Microsoft has a significant impact on technology adoption, especially when it comes to a fundamental technology such as IPv6. Windows Vista will drive and sustain IPv6 adoption by the consumers, while Windows Server 2008 will drive adoption in enterprises. Both of these markets will in turn influence the IPv6 adoption plans of service providers. Microsoft’s implementation of IPv6 facilitates deployment. Through new, IPv6-only applications, it can also provide new drivers for IPv6 adoption. If you look at its operating systems' market penetration, you could see that Microsoft has “IPv6-enabled” more than 85% of the market. IPv6 is “default” on 18% of the market through Vista, another 69% needs to get it configured. Those are important numbers when tracking the IPv6 market penetration. http://marketshare.hitslink.com/report.aspx?qprid=10 What is the business case for IPv6? Inside my enterprise I run 10.x address space with 16 million addresses and think this is Y2K size event with NO JUSTIFICATION. At the Internet border, my ISP may give me a 4to6 gateway in the future. The only place where it may impact me in a few years is the Internet properties we run that must be regression tested and support access from v4 and v6 Internet endpoints, etc. Many companies will not NEED to move to IPv6 in the next few years if they are satisfied with all of the services they are using

DIP Switches
Dual in-line package (DIP) switches are electronic packages that consist of a series of tiny switches. DIP switches are used to configure computers and peripherals such as circuit boards and modems.
Rocker Switches
Rocker switches are actuated by a standard or dual rocker or paddle.
Flow Switches
Flow switches are devices that monitor flow and send a trip signal to other devices, like a pump, for protection. These switches can be used for the measurement of gases, liquids, and steam.
Sealing Boots
Sealing boots protect switches from contaminants such as dirt, dust, gas, and liquids.  They are generally tough, pliable silicone rubber devices for toggle, pushbutton, rocker and rotary switches.
Solid State Relays
Solid state relays (SSR) or semiconductor relays are semiconductor devices that can be used in place of mechanical relays to switch electricity to a load in many applications.
