The need for v6, at least for me, is in the deployment of mass quantities of end nodes. That I can nearly support today with existing infrastructure. I see little compelling need to upgrade my existing routers to v6 now; I do see a need for 4000 wireless end nodes at each of our sites - those could be serviced with a few app servers in the home office that knew v6 and v4-v6 tunnels [yes, technically these would be "routers"] at the remote sites. At six to eight weeks for each router software release for the bug scrub and six months to roll out said code, we only have time to do it twice a year. Adding a new protocol would be formiddable unless tunelling were used to virtualize the infrastructure. -Nathan Lane
