Re: [44net] routable or private?

Frank, I work in IT professionally, and really the holdup is that IPv6 "is hard." Not that it's actually hard. I run IPv6 both professionally and personally, but it does take some effort to implement, it's dealt with somewhat differently than IPv4, and in some cases, could require new equipment to be able to handle it. Additionally, we have somewhat of a chicken and the egg problem. Major hosting providers aren't terribly inclined to go through all the above effort because very few consumers actually have v6 connectivity. And on the other side, many consumer ISPs haven't put much effort into getting their customers v6 connectivity due to few major hosting providers or web sites actually support it. Comcast has been for once doing something laudable, and has been pushing IPv6 deployment throughout their networks, and while it's not everywhere yet, they (as of the end of last year) had 25% of their quite substantial customer base enabled for IPv6 use. Hopefully, the rest of the industry will follow suit and we'll see IPv6 adoption pick up significant steam, both amongst hosting providers, as well as consumer ISPs.
