It's been a big part of the CCNA and CCNP (etc.etc.) for quite a while now, and for certain parts of some Microsoft certifications. I think my first CCNA test with IPv6 on it was around 1998, or thereabouts. A long time ago.
Windows 2008 and above on the server, Vista and above on the desktop - support it natively. I think that EVERY networking-related product coming out of Microsoft now is supposed to work with IPv6. I know Cisco and Juniper have supported it in their (business and carrier-class) routers for several years now. US.Gov requires compliance with IPv6 in all new solutions (although I understand getting an exemption is pretty easy). I've taken and passed tests and labs in it. No real-world experience though. But I'm ready when necessary. :-) Regards, Michael B.

Have any of you worked on a plan, or even fully or partially implemented, IPv6 in your environments? If so, do you have any wisdom to share? Beyond knowing that it exists, and is supposed to replace IPv4, I have no real world knowledge or experience with it, and was wondering what kind of mind share the issue has with this community.
