IPv6 - Where Is It At?

[NetworkGroover]

I think a somewhat hidden part of this is the undesirable extra demand IPv6 puts on both software development of vendors to support both, and the extra resource demand it puts on the hardware itself to do all the things that we're all used to with IPv4.  IPv6 ACLs for example take way more TCAM memory than IPv4.  That's just one basic function - now expand that through all the functions inside of network devices based off IP addressing - all of that needs to be stored in memory somewhere.

The major IPv6 drivers in the USA are mobile phone providers and US Government facilities.
