创建本报告的目的是评估IPv6的各个方面，并就部署、过渡和驱动因素的各个方面就其观点传达共识。IPv6任务组考虑了向IPv6过渡的关键原因或驱动因素，以及过渡将或可能对现有互联网协议版本4（IPv4）基础设施产生的影响。

This report was created to assess the various aspects of IPv6 and communicating a consensus view on aspects of deployment, transitioning, and drivers with respect to its perspective. The IPv6 Task Force considered key reasons for or drivers behind the transition to IPv6, and the impacts a transition will or will likely have on the existing Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) infrastructure.
