    Doesn't V6 allow for end-to-end encryption and authentication?

    That would solve a lot of issues for secure networks. And with the cap
    off addresses, it should make thing very interesting. It will change
    the Internet so that unauthenticated traffic will get a different class
    of service.

    NAT was a hack and although it works fine for small environments it
    falls apart for large user networks. The lack of auditing is pure
    nightmare for tracking down abuse from the inside in a large network.

    I applaud the DOD efforts, they created the Internet and I have no doubt
    that mandating V6 will tip the scales for adoption. They did this in
    early 80 with IP, they'll do it again.

    Linksys probably has V6 fully implemented on a lab firmware and I expect
    transition to be relatively painless (but it's a pure guess at this point)
