There are a number of reasons.  There is no real pro/con as far as 
security is concerned, though there are some enhancements for security. 
 The real reasons why IPv6 is important and growing more so revolve 
around the availability of IPv4 space and the fact that there ARE some 
content providers who will be pushing toward IPv6 in the future (very 
near term).  Just a few facts:


* ARIN, the number resource for the US is projected to be completely out 
of space next year or late this year.  I have seen projections that put 
this as early as September 2013.  If you use public IP space, then you 
MUST have address space to continue to grow.


* Many of the large providers (AT&T, Comcast, etc.) are moving toward 
IPv6 to the consumer.  As this continues to happen and they widen the 
gap, I'd look for them to begin advertising this capability.


* Deploying an IPv6 network is not an overnight event.  It will take 
some time to get it done.  If you can project a real need for IP space 
in the next 1-2 years, it's time to get to working on the deployment 
details for your network now.


I have seen many providers who bury their heads in the sand regarding 
IPv6.  They say things like "I can just NAT with IPv4 and not have any 
problems."  The real problem with that approach is that there is coming 
a time when some content provider (I expect this to happen in video) 
will see a specific benefit to them to be able to see the end user IP 
instead of the NAT IP.  When that happens, they will begin telling 
consumers (YOUR customers) that there is a reason to use IPv6.  If you 
are not prepared when your customers call you asking, then you are 6 
months behind the curve (minimum).  This is especially bad if AT&T 
serves your area and they DO offer IPv6.

Jerry,

Besides the obvious more IP space argument, there's always the amount of
eyeballs looking for IPv6.
NANOG usually has a state of events for IPv6 at the meetings.
http://www.nanog.org/meetings/nanog56/presentations/Tuesday/tues.lightning.k
arir.pdf

Add that it usually takes a bit longer for native IPv6 clients to
lookup/fail on IPv6 and fallback to IPv4.
(Note: not all do.  Apple has a happy eyeballs algorithm.)

Butch,

I want to take the IPv6 course you are going to teach. Please give me some
ammunition to present to my boss on why IPv6 is now important. What are the
security advantages or ANY advantages beside larger IP space that I can use
to sell him on the idea.

Jerry Roy
