Hardware & Software IPv6 Only
Hello, Sorry for the noise. Hopefully this is a good place to ask. Are there any IPv6 Only hardware you are aware of?. And IPv6 Only software too? If so and you don't mind you can contact me off-list. Thanks, Alejandro,

Hello, I've written some off-Internet IPv6-only software. There are generally only two reasons to do so: 1. You need the software to self-address a link local Interface. IPv4 doesn't do this well. It's useful for experiments in self-constructing networks. 2. You're doing something funky with networking that has to live in a large address space. Since the IPv6 software APIs are 100% backward compatible with IPv4 there aren't a whole lot of other reasons to write software that's IPv6-only.
