It's not a question of if but when IPv6 will be used on large scale in the interned. So, form the educational side it's beneficial if students learn about IPv6. So much for the theory I did quite a number of presentations on IPv6 some of them in at university in Germany (not as some official talk but some user group / some students asked me too). Some quotes: "We don't' have time for this." "Well our network equipment is 14 years old, we don't have a budget for new stuff." "We'll implement IPv6 in 13 years, it's when my colleague retires." /me: "Cool. You have IPv6." Professor: "I configured the tunnel myself. Our network people don't this the topic."
