title: What benefits/impact will IPv6 have on application development & design?
body: <p>There has been a lot of press about IPv6 and the impending switch over to IPv6 from IPv4.  I have some understanding of IPv6, but I've often wondered how much impact IPv6 has on application development &amp; design (specifically)?</p>
  
  <p>Are there some tangible/well known benefits IPv6 provides which we don't already have today?</p>
  
  <p>I know Windows Vista and Server 2008 support IPv6 out-of-the-box, is anyone using (or designing with IPv6 in mind) today, and if so, what are the benefits?  Should we be considering IPv6 in current and future projects?</p>
  
  <p>Are there any <em>good</em> examples of IPv6-aware applications?  </p>
