That doesn't answer what you believe about all those deploying v6, for whatever reasons they are deploying it ... (Reasons that vary from environment to environment)
If you want me to start listing the technical merits of IPv6 I would first point you to a plethora of sources - working groups, RFCs, whitepapers, new product lines and modes of communication, etc. - are you really asking for a single email to encompass 10+ years of work by hundreds+ people?
Yes, please, please point me to all that information, because there are not so many 'merits', especially technical. And if you claim there are then either I am missing something really big, or you are just preaching what you don't understand. Try coming up with 5 one-liner points where IPv6 > IPv4. I'll give you the sole real merit: More address space. For the rest, there are not any that are significant, as they all can be done with IPv4. Greets, Jeroen
