Chuck, I don't disagree that overall experience may be better for people with networks that don't have robust IPv6 capability, but there's nothing magical about v4 (or v6 either) that makes it "perform better" at layer 3. I know for a fact that v6 performs slightly better on my company's network because when we built it our, the overall topology had no multi-protocol legacy garbage for backwards compatibility. There's slightly less latency because of some optimization decisions we were able to make. That's not to say that SERVICES are better...based on poor understanding and implementation in most cases.
The more we actually USE v6 for services, the more we identify network architecture/deployment issues and are able to resolve them. Lets not encourage folks to stick their heads in the sand. Thanks.
