> Show me the IPv6 killer-app!. It looks like you're trying to make IPv6 deployment fit into some model in your head that requires a single killer app, rather than trying to understand why specific interests would want to use IPv6 and whether it is economically feasible for those interests to use IPv6 (possibly tunneled over IPv4). I don't see a single killer app for IPv6; rather I see lots of groups (some larger than others) taking advantage of IPv6's improved functionality. e.g. mobility, linear address space (and lack of interference from NATs), ability to interoperate with 3G mobile phones, etc. Since IPv6 is incrementally deployable from the endpoints, it is not necessary for IPv6 to have a killer app to drive deployment in order for IPv6 to be successful.
