Personally, I think the two main benefits touted for IPv6:
1) Talking to the US military
But they don't talk to anyone, anyway. Certainly not us filthy, filthy, asia pacific based people.

seem pretty uncompelling.
Spam over v6! It might conceivably be useful (stand on one leg, squint real hard) if you had a large content site that was hit regularly by China and Korea. This seems unlikely though, especially as any v6-only site in those locales will have some form of v4 gating. I'm more interested to see when "a large corporate" with many dollars to spend might be able to convince telcos to do something like 6PE for their IPVPN services. Is anyone doing this today? Does anyone want it? Is it a "MANDATORY" requirement, or is it a "Nice to have"? Are there alternatives? Does anyone care? I'm actually genuinely curious. aj. -- "ipv4" and "atm" for the quote and protocol goodness.
