A peer of mine is doing some testing of IPv6, has a tunnel to the
6bone. There are a lot of organizations running some IPv6, more all the
time. As for mainstream I would guess it's a good couple of years. It
obviously cannot happen overnight but you will have the early adopters
as as more people gain experience, competance and comfort with IPv6 it
will grow and become "mainstream".
IPv6rtr#sh ipv6 int fa0/1.708
FastEthernet0/1.708 is up, line protocol is up
IPv6 is enabled, link-local address is FE80::2B0:64FF:FE35:2801
Global unicast address(es):
3FFE:C00:8031:2::1, subnet is 3FFE:C00:8031:2::/64
Joined group address(es):
FF02::1
FF02::2
FF02::1:FF35:2801
FF02::1:FF00:1
MTU is 1500 bytes
ICMP error messages limited to one every 500 milliseconds
ICMP redirects are enabled
ND DAD is enabled, number of DAD attempts: 1
ND reachable time is 30000 milliseconds
ND advertised reachable time is 0 milliseconds
ND advertised retransmit interval is 0 milliseconds
ND router advertisements are sent every 200 seconds
ND router advertisements live for 1800 seconds
Hosts use stateless autoconfig for addresses.
Here is a good URL for much more info than I have:
