Sadly v6 is at best only a partial solution. If v6 really allowed a customer to do all the things that a v4 address does then there would be no shortage of money and people deploying it.
Excuse my ignorance, but what, exactly, can one do with v4 that can't be done with v6? Other than giving people relatively-easily-remembered addresses, that is :P This is a serious question. I know that there's no such thing as broadcasting with v6, but is that such a terrible loss? What other superiorities does v4 exhibit? -- Matthew Poole "Don't use force. Get a bigger hammer."
