Windows 7 will have a cool feature called DirectAccess that "requires
deploying IPv6 and IPsec". ...
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...
...
The new UDP-based RTMFP protocol that just shipped in Flash Player 10
will automatically use IPv6 for both client-server (to Flash Media
Server) and direct Flash Player-to-Flash Player communication if there
is a working IPv6 path between the endpoints and it is at least as fast
or faster than the IPv4 path latency-wise. (Not that there are many of
those these days... but as they start to exist, you'll start seeing the
traffic on them) It is also encrypted and (in some cases) authenticated.
