Decide with your wallet. Just do not buy the stuff that cannot do IPv6 -<br>
there is enough stuff available today (and has been since many years)<br>
that will happily do IPv6 at the same speed as IPv4.<br>
<br>
For loadbalancers, at least F5 and Citrix Netscaler never had this<br>
"IPv6 in software only" tax.<br>

(And do not complain *now* that you did not listen to us telling everyone<br>
for the last 10+ years that "if you buy new gear, make sure that it will<br>
do proper IPv6 when you decide to turn it on, when you're ready")<br>
