Windows 7 will have a cool feature called DirectAccess that "requires
deploying IPv6 and IPsec". I know nothing more of this feature than
is
in the article, but if accurate it may create a client-centric demand
for v6, i.e., desirable new functionality that isn't available on v4.
Of course, Windows 7 will have to ship first, and then get deployed in
the enterprise...
Thanks, Teredo.
Interesting point, IPSEC is really useful in IPv6, especially
transport mode opportunistic encryption/authentication. But, that
requires (in my understanding) keys in DNS, which really needs a
secure DNS infrastructure to be, well, secure...

Notice the DNSSEC support at the end of page one and beginning of page
two.
