Description

The HEPiX IPv6 working group has been chasing the deployment of dual-stack IPv6/IPv4 storage services in WLCG for nearly 6 years. Finally, the deployment is essentially complete with more than 97% of all LHC experiment Tier-2 storage services now IPv6-capable. There is, however, still substantial use of the legacy IPv4 protocols. The group has been identifying obstacles to the use of IPv6 and has successfully fixed many of the problems. The agreed endpoint of the IPv6 transition remains the move of all WLCG services to IPv6-only within the next few years. This talk will present all the work done and show our plans for the move to IPv6-only.
