I working on a large airport WiFi deployment right now. IPv6 is "allowed for in the future" but not configured in the

apps come ready to use IPv6 by default.


'we don't expect users to demand ipv6'

aside from #nanog folks, who 'demands' ipv6?

Don't they actually 'demand' "access to content on the internet" ?

Since you seem to have a greenfield deployment, why NOT just put v6 in
place on day0? retrofitting it is surely going to cost time/materials
and probably upgrades to gear that could be avoided by doing it in the
initial installation, right?
