I support this. IPv6 is actually easy the simpler your network is. Where it gets expensive is large OSS and provisioning... but when you are small, how hard is it to add a few things here and there. <div><br></div><div>Given most Juniper, Cisco, Brocade, Linux, vmware, even Windows does IPv6 just fine... your equipment probably can do it just fine.... and if you can't, you probably have 5-8yo kit that you really need to be thinking about upgrading.</div>

And its the large companies who can afford v6, while the smaller companies cannot so much. You only need to look at v6 implementation to see this.<br>

So far from my experience in ipv6 deployments, the smaller the company the easier and cheaper it is. Smaller companies are more likely to have gear that relies on software forwarding so ipv6 upgrades are simply an firmware upgrade away or if they do need to replace gear a bit of searching on ebay can scrounge up something to take care of the ipv6 side of things. Where as larger companies are more likely to have to buy new and have specialized kit that doesn't speak ipv6 well (big arse firewalls/load balancers/WAFs etc).<br>
