Well, it usually really is but just like automation, ipv6 isn=E2=80=99t =
something that
many people have broad experiences with, and don=E2=80=99t cut+paste =
quite as well as
one would hope. There are also *Way* too many people who memorize IP =
addresses
out there that have a harder time trying to store 128-bits in their =
memory vs
32-bits.
They also don=E2=80=99t want to lose track of where that IPv4 packet =
came from, so don=E2=80=99t
want a reverse proxy doing protocol tcp6 -> tcp4 mucking for them.
eg: ATT wireless/mobility could have their proxy connect() to an ipv6 =
address vs
ipv4 which my phone transits when on their network and the qname returns =
AAAA.
This was my favorite thing when running a transparent proxy on my home =
network,
it could turn all the traffic from hosts that might not naturally think =
of doing
modprobe ipv6 and turned them into IPv6 requests.
For those wondering, nearly 62% of VZ Wireless traffic is IPv6.
