Slightly off-topic, but tangentially related that I'll dare to ask. I'm attending an "Emerging Communications" course where the instructor stated that there are SOHO routers that natively support IPv6,

There are a couple of other boxes I noticed recently at Fry's (in the SF Bay Area) that claimed IPv6 support on the box, but I have no idea how real those claims are.
Furthermore, he stated that networking equipment companies like Cisco will be moving away from IPv4 in 5 years or so. This is the first time I've heard this posited -- I had a hard believing that, but he claims it with some authority. Anyone hear anything like this? My own opinion is thatwe'll see dual-stack for at least a decade or two to come.
I suspect you should back away slowly from anyone who suggests IPv4 is going to go away within 5 years.
