[arin-discuss] Encouraging IPv6 Transition (From PPML)

[Jacob Epstein]

Hello Lee,

IPv6 is supported on VMWare. I am working this week on upgrading an ESX 
5i host and bringing up a dual stack FreeBSD 9.0 guest for demonstration 
purposes. This replaces and older Dual Stacked Physical Demo server.

I will report my findings when I have completed the work.

We have been updating Data Center customers and professional 
organizations such as Infragard CT, however interest in adopting IPv6 is 
low. Our strategy for driving adoption is "Future Proofing" applications 
with Dual Stacked networking. People love the idea, but rather not touch 
their virtual or physical servers.
