One Less Reason to Adopt IPv6?

alphadogg writes "For a decade, IPv6 proponents have pushed this upgrade to the Internet's main communications protocol because of its three primary benefits: a gargantuan address space, end-to-end security, and easier network administration through automatic device configuration. Now it turns out that one of these IPv6 benefits — autoconfiguration — may not be such a boon for corporate network managers. A growing number of IPv6 experts say that corporations probably will skip autoconfiguration and instead stick with DHCP, which has been updated to support IPv6."

    But puppies don't have a "gargantuan address space" or end-to-end security. Trust me, puppies leak all the time.

      Not to mention the fact that sniffing is a constant problem.
