IPv6 is a necessity in so many ways I can't wait to see it adopted widespread. There are so many limitations to IPv4 with NAT. The BIGGEST thing I see is the gamers with the PS4's and it gets very beneficial if you have multiple PS4's in the same house. Apparently when Sony designed the games for UPnP they never anticipated that there would be multiple PS4 consoles behind a single public IPv4 address and so I guess you can't have two consoles playing the exact same game because the consoles fight for the same exact port ranges and the NAT router doesn't know which console on the internal LAN to forward the traffic too. Its a common problem apparently that Sony has acknowledged and basically said there will be no fix. But IPV6 wouldn't have had this problem in the first place.
