Hi,

I'm always wondering about that part. The only information from
Microsoft I could find is "turn of IPv6 at your own risk. We only tested
it with IPv6 enabled."

I'm currently working for a university. I don't do windows but all newer
Windows server are dual-stacked. I don't think there are any problems.

Unfortunately the main public facing servers (web, mail) are not
dual-stacked but that is purely a Layer 8 problem.

You may find some things documented here:

http://wiki.test-ipv6.com/wiki/Main_Page

If you stumble over another problem it would be great if you document it
in the there. This wiki could use more content.

You may also find some information here:

For the client side: We enabled IPv6 in the wireless network in October
2015 and had no complaints so far. There about 3-4.000 Clients online
during day time.

If I figure out why I only see IPv6 in the sflow export from the brocade
switches (miss)used as border routers I could provide some traffic
stats.
