RE: IPv6 in the Enterprise

0

Jeff,
Great discussion here. Last time I saw you was out in Denver I think. Seem like you're staying busy...

Regarding the IPv6 discussion, I agree with what you're saying regarding the need for IPv6 in the enterprise. However, I'm wondering if we're going to see it there more quickly based on other factors.

I'm starting to see IPv6 deployed a lot within the government space (especially military). My experience leads me to believe that in a couple of years the guys & gals that are building IPv6 networks in the military today will have completed their tours and will be out working within the enterprise market.

Now, even though they won't need to deploy IPv6, since they have been educated on the technology I'm thinking they may start deploying it because, well, that's just what geeks like us do. Same reason we deploy beta software into production environments and we drive our IT guys crazy by running "non-standard" software like Firefox on our laptops - we like being on the edge...

Your thoughts?

Josh
