Nobody should read my doom-saying and conclude that I dislike IPv6 for any particular reason. I think it's fun to play with; I just don't see a business reason for the average ISP or enterprise to worry about it, today.
The reason today for using a real IP address is (or should be) to see and be seen by the rest of the intraweb. If you don't need to be seen then RFC1914 will be fine, if you do, only IPv4 will cut it.
Most (well me anyway) will probably not want their fridge (or car brakes) directly accessible by umpty million hackers.
Then why on earth wouldn't you employ a firewall to protect your fridge/car brakes while allowing access to other parts of your network that you DO want to communicate to the outside world directly ? -- Steve.
