Well, considering how very few vendors actually support IPv6, it's hard to find proper competition. Even the companies who do support IPv6 very well in some products, not all their BUs do on their own products (you know who you are :P ).
Even worse is when the BU charges an insane price ($40k for 20 GigE ports for example) for a license to give a piece of their equipment IPv6 capabilities. I'm looking at you ES20 linecards. Adoption of IPv6 would be better in my opinion if vendors didn't force us to pay a premium to use IPv6. It's hard enough to convince management that there is a need to implement IPv6. It's even harder when you tell them how much it costs. And when they ask what they're getting for their dollars, they are none to pleased to hear that the bulk of it is going to a damn license. Justin
