I think the "there is currently no need for IPv6" argument is understandable, 
but (for what it's worth) I disagree. My 
guess is that we will see issues with an IPv6 implementation and the sooner we 
start developing/testing IPv6 support 
the better the product will be when the need for IPv6 deployment becomes 
reality. 

I think that any OTT cloud based VoIP implementation will need IPv6 prior to 
enterprise environments since this might be 
an area where it sooner will be tricky for new service providers to get IPv4 
addresses. Border devices will most likely 
traverse and solve a lot of the addressing issues, but to get rid of NAT 
problems with IPv6 sounds pretty good to me... 

I fully understand the prioritization of resources, and since I'm not a 
programmer I'm sad to say that I can't add much
value there, but I really think it would be a great feature to start working on 
native IPv6 support to begin testing for 
early/future deployments. 

As far as I know, Asterisk, OpenSIPS, Kamilio and Freeswitch have at least some 
IPv6 support already?
