We don't run IPv6 and my guidance is to disable IPv6 on all devices and block it on the firewall. The reasoning behind this is that IPv6 adds complexity and a possible alternate communications route with no advantage that I can see. If you can point me towards any business justification to use IPv6 internally then I'd be very interested, but I haven't been swayed by the "because it's the right thing to do" argument.”<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>I guess this is a fairly standard response. So this is the perception that we need to change. The key being no ADVANTAGE… <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>Does anyone know of any short articles that have been produced to counter this type of argument?
