nuqneH,

I am sure that IPv6 will be deployed in 1-2 years, because of shortage of
IP address base in Asia, and Europe. US  will lag behind of them: enough
IPv4 addresses. But If you get IPSec with IPv6 why you will not buy IPv6
ready/compliant system.... 

IPv6/IPsec combination are quite mature from several vendors.

Hell, i am pretty sure IPv4 address shortage is pure administrative
problem, not a technical one. Seen too much of "we have a research lab
with ~100 workstations so we need C network" :-E~~  (actually they need 3:
one for firewall and 2 for public servers) I can't believe ipv4 address
space is not enough for all hosts that actually need true routable
address.

If we find a way to get those addresses back from _abusers_ (sic!) then we
don't have to spend time and money migrating to v6.
