This article describes the transition from IPv4 to IPv6 at METANET. All customers receive the same number of IPv6 addresses corresponding to their IPv4 allocation to ensure parallel operation (dual-stack) at no additional cost. This phase continues until the IPv4 address allocation is exhausted. After that, new systems will only receive IPv6 addresses, which is not expected to happen before 2018. The transition phase affects products such as Shared Hosting, DNS Cloud, Root Server, Rack Housing, and Server Housing.

This phase continues until the METANET IPv4 allocation is exhausted.
