IPv6 is ten years old, it’s been a promising technology for 6 years now, and nobody uses it. I wrote an Introduction to IPv6 some time ago, and since then one question has intrigued me: Will IPv6 ever be used widely?
I don't think IPv7 or 8 is comming out any time soon, Because IPv6 provides new capabilities for high quality streaming, multimedia communications such as real time audio and video. Huge opportunities for research and experimentation exist in this area of communication, espically as the internet continues to grow.
