Challenges in Initial Phase Delivery TECHNOLOGY IP Numbering Schema, Multi-Homing Hardware compatibility IPv6 addresses from APNIC Manageable for short time…. MIND SET Why Should I change My Setup Will the change that we make are permanent. Multiple Scheme OPERATIONAL Complexity in existing Network Multiple Networks in Institute No single point of contact in many cases Reluctance to Change
