For almost 10 years I've heard discussions about the successor to IPv4, but
from my point of view (may differ from others..) not much has happened. Of
course, I can imagine that when the wheel starts rolling for real things
might change quickly. 3 years may prove to be correct, but are there any
clear signs pointing in this direction?
The proponents of IPv6 have claimed growing real-world deployment for the
last several years. There is yet no significant commercial deployment--the
real world still runs on IPv4.
Just adding another "real world" datapoint... I'd love to get my hands
dirty with IPv6. I contacted both of our upstreams, Level3 and HE.net.
Level3 never responded, if anyone has details on what their deal is,
please share (offlist).
HE.net wanted both more money and for us to order another port with them.
For the 0.0001% of our users that have expressed interest in v6
connectivity, we're not going to pay for another FE port just to
experiment. I'm sure most other Tier-2 local/regional ISPs feel the same
way.
If there were a free and "best effort" service offered by any of our
upstreams though, I'd jump at it.
My buddy Ike over at NYCBUG does have a bunch of pictures of cheap
consumer IPv6 home routers from his trip to Japan. Apparently it's quite
widespread there.
