I'm working on SG's SOEasy project at the moment, and all implemented solutions have to be IPv6 compliant, or have it included in their roadmap for the mid-contract refresh. So, some large accounts that have end-user impact are moving to IPv6
And for those, a long time ago, talking about large corporates moving to Vista (Micheal E - I'm looking at you) - the bank I mentioned previously has rolled several tens of thousands of Vista seats. SOEasy has rolled about 10k so far. Cheers Ken -----Original Message----- From: Michael B.

I think my first CCNA test with IPv6 on it was around 1998, or thereabouts. A long time ago. Windows 2008 and above on the server, Vista and above on the desktop - support it natively. I think that EVERY networking-related product coming out of Microsoft now is supposed to work with IPv6. I know Cisco and Juniper have supported it in their (business and carrier-class) routers for several years now. US.Gov requires compliance with IPv6 in all new solutions (although I understand getting an exemption is pretty easy). I've taken and passed tests and labs in it. No real-world experience though. But I'm ready when necessary. :-) Regards, Michael B.

Have any of you worked on a plan, or even fully or partially implemented, IPv6 in your environments? If so, do you have any wisdom to share? Beyond knowing that it exists, and is supposed to replace IPv4, I have no real world knowledge or experience with it, and was wondering what kind of mind share the issue has with this community.
