This question comes back up every few months, and every time I wonder: what is the justification case for IPv6? Aside from those home hackers that are desperate for a full 128 bits of addressing to route the twelve devices on their network (never mind my public wifi network that eats an entire /17 with all its churn), where are the potential users? Who has put off rolling out pfSense or a similar platform because it didn't implement IPv6? What about the fact that for the huge majority of users, the magical IPv6 land of ponies and sugar cakes will end at their border unless they tunnel it out to some 3rd-party provider? Yes, some ISPs are starting to offer v6 connectivity, but those are few and far between. I'm not against IPv6, I just disagree with the periodic Slashdot-induced handwaving 'emergency'. We've been "on the cusp" of "an addressing crisis" for years, and the fact that someone has slapped a ruler on the current allocation trend and come up with a number of days under 1000 doesn't really cause me concern. Who can present a reasonable case for adoption before the current 2-3 year timeline?
