As far as I know, pretty much all hardware made in the last 20 years
ought to be able to do IPv6. Slightly more recently, pretty much all
software ought to handle IPv5.
I think that what doesn't support IPv6 is many people and deployments.
I'm an example.
The ISP that routes my /24 doesn't support IPv6. Not sure why. They
must think that none of their clients need or want it.
I could use IPv6 because I have a second ISP (Rogers) that does
support IPv6. But it seems easier to leave things as they are. So
I'm a typical cause of the problem.
This would change in a flash if some site I cared about was IPv6-only.
Say Google or Red Hat.
