What is the process of migrating from IPv4 to IPv6 called?

The process of migrating from IPv4 to IPv6 is widely referred to as "Transitioning from IPv4 to IPv6." This terminology effectively captures the essential nature of the change, as it encompasses both the need to move from the older protocol version (IPv4) to the newer protocol (IPv6) while emphasizing the importance of a systematic and strategic approach to this migration.

IPv4, which has been the backbone of Internet addressing for many years, is facing issues due to its limited address space. Conversely, IPv6 was developed to resolve these limitations and support the growing number of devices connecting to the Internet. The transition between these two protocols involves various challenges, including ensuring that devices can communicate effectively during the switch, as the protocols are not directly compatible.

While terms such as IP Migration and Protocol Conversion could describe aspects of the process, they lack the specificity and recognition that the term "Transitioning from IPv4 to IPv6" provides, which more accurately reflects the overall endeavor of adopting a new protocol while addressing interoperability and continuation of services. Network Integration focuses more on the cohesive operation of different systems within a network rather than specifically addressing the protocol transition. Thus, "Transitioning from IPv4 to IPv6" is the most appropriate and widely accepted
