| Summary: | A systematic review of the literature was performed to understand the IPV6 migration readiness and resistance in organization and to provide an overview of the current state of research in this topic. In total, 30 papers from 5 prominent databases met our inclusion criteria; 16 were on factors affecting the migration adoption from IPV4 to IPV6, 5 discussed the challenges, solutions and deployment strategies and 9 discussed the migration planning. The number of research done in this topic is increasing in years. Based on the reviews, many researches have focused on the functional issues of IPV6 such as on content, transition mechanisms and performance. Research on non-functional issues such as on vendor support, cost of implementation, skill shortage, advantage of early adoption, scope for innovative ideas and lack of immediate benefits are still scarce. Therefore, a complete framework that integrates both the functional and non-functional issues is deemed important as a guideline for organizations’ migration to IPV6.
