Kind of a side question but we have not implemented IPv6 in our network yet, nor have we made any plans to do this in the near future. Our management does not see a need for it as our customer base is not requesting it at this time. Does anyone see any benefits to beginning a small deployment of IPv6 now even if its just for internal usage? Bruce Curtis wrote:

You know that windows 2000 was released with this functionality. Its nothing new and it is not ipv6 specific.
Who is using it precisely?
Microsoft, on 200,000 computers at the time of the paper below.

We have a couple of departments using IPsec here and one more seriously looking at it. (Mainly a matter of finding time to test and implement.)
Plus there are at least a couple of other Universities.
And I see a City has been added to the list.
