In practice, the IPv4 vs IPv6 difference is that some vendors provide DHCP snooping, private VLANs and unicast flood protection in IPv4 land, which seems to provide a scalable way to build Ethernet networks with address validation---but there is nothing comparable for IPv6 right now, from any vendor.
It seems to me that IPv4 feature parity in terms of layer-2 security features should be prominently featured in upcoming RFPs. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Roland Dobbins <rdobbins@arbor.net> // <http://www.arbornetworks.com> The basis of optimism is sheer terror. -- Oscar Wilde
