> My advice would be to start experimenting with it now. This will give you a headstart over the rest of the field as IPV6 becomes more popular.

I remember specifically a coworker of mine in 1996 saying that I had 4 years to learn about IPng as it would be replacing everything by the Year 2000.

I guess the work we had to do stopping planes falling out of the sky and holding back the Y2K zombie apocalypse delayed that somewhat. :)
