Network migrations are fun :) I've managed several of those over the years. The
most important part is to create a proper documentation of the current network(s). Then you start designing and planning. And don't forget that IT departments get heart attacks when you mention network renumbering.

ciao,
Markus

The latter also happens closer to home...

Honestly, I would love to do that for a living, and oddly enough, with no college I can probably do it better that most that went and spend all the money
for college (not much free college here in the USA).

I'd love to do that, or server admin, etc. But instead I build the buildings you use to store all the racks and servers (ironworker). So the next time you drive by a jobsite that guys are running around on steel beams, you can think of me. ;)

I am not sure if "intuitive" is the word I would use, but yes, I sure would like more people to be that "creative" into enticing their boss to make the company network IPv6 complient.

I participate in a Dutch forming dedicated to IPv6 and I meet many people who have problems reaching their home network from their work place because at home
they have DS-Lite and at work there is only IPv4. Now that DS-Lite is coming to
our homes, this becomes an increasing problem.

Ever so often sysadmins have problems convincing their bosses that IPv6 is unavoidable and that the longer they wait the more expensive it will become. But the CEOs are more interested in their bonus at the end of the year. They do
not care about the long term. By the time it really becomes a problem, they have moved on to greener pastures... :-(

My guess is that this is not a Dutch problem but that it is an issue in many other European countries as well.

Yep, common issue. Most organizations will postpone IPv6 until the market pressure becomes so huge that they are forced to implement IPv6. And then it has to be done in a very short time frame causing tons of problems.

Done a few in my time, buth corporate and home networks. I wasn't afraid of renumbering, saw it as a lesser evil to crufty solutions full of NATs. My own private IP range is a hamgver from those days when I was a VPN connected to the office. :)

Been a network and server admin, was good work, though these days I do more manual work. Something about getting physical and dirty outside works for me. :) That said, I still like my tech, and still work on keeping up with IPv6 and other current and emerging technologies.
