Nearly every customer of mine has required IPv6 in their RFPs for over a year, but not a single one has turned it on even for testing.
Right, but it means that more network providers are having to offer some type of solution. This will enable Windows (or whatever) to have it on by default and actually have it work.
We can hope.
Vendor C's issues with v6 are a problem, but they're not the only provider of core or edge gear... Also, even though their forwarding mechanisa are not completely functional, they do pass packets, so it'll work, just not be optimized.
When a 30Mpps IPv4 box falls back to <200kpps for IPv6, I don't think "not completely functional" is an adequate description. To me, that falls into the "not supported" category. S
