The scraps that are left are just to allow new businesses to get on and be able to interact with both worlds, but they should be doing IPv6 from the start.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Sorry, I have a pile of customers running IPv6, including hosting providers, tail providers, corporates, even government departments. The SP's are already offering IPv6 services, and while not all apps might support it... it can be made to work.</div>
<div><br></div><div>While we only primarily deal with the infrastructure aspect, but without your infrastructure having it, you can't go to the next level.</div><div><br></div><div>Tell me which operating systems used in datacentres doesn't support IPv6 already? I have customers running Vmware, Windows, Linux, etc... all happily on IPv6. Most services are just fine as well... mail, web and so on.</div>
<div><br></div><div>While in the enterprise environment, IPv6 in my opinion isn't quite finished and smooth as it could be, in the DC and SP world, it is pretty much working just fine.</div><div><br></div><div>Anyone who isn't running it, is frankly lazy and hasn't been investing in their own businesses future.</div>
<div><br></div><div>You can't make someone else pay for your IPv6 upgrades that you need. IPv6 is NOT something the end user cares about or even understands. There will never been any business case for IPv6 apart from "STAYING IN BUSINESS". No one is going to pay you lots of money to host on IPv6, and nor should they.</div>
<div><br></div><div>There is actually a lot of IPv6 out there should you choose to use it. Just turning on your MX records with IPv6 will suddenly see a reasonable amount of email (especially the SP big mailing-lists) come through on IPv6.</div>
<div><br></div><div>IPv6 is here... just start using it.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><div><div>...Skeeve</div><div><br></div><div><div><b style="font-size:13px;font-family:Calibri">Skeeve Stevens - </b><span style="font-size:13px;font-family:Calibri">eintellego Networks Pty Ltd</span></div>
