Getting your network running IPv6 doesn't seem to be the challenge anymore. None of our L2 devices cared at all. Our L3 devices took some configuration, but moved pretty easily. it's the server and application software that needs a lot more work.

Here is a great post about 1 man's experince trying to move to IPv6. The moral of his story is that getting the network IPv6 ready is the easier part (but not easy), getting applcations to work with IPv6 just isn't worth the trouble.
Anybody else have stories about deploying IPv6?
