IIRC it was in 2008 that I decided not to buy any more new network equipment that does not support IPv6. Back than IPv6 support was already available in many products but it certainly could not be taken for granted. Today the situation is much better, but one can still be surprised. That Mikrotik router router I mentioned, a Mikrotik HEX, that I bought earlied this year did not have IPv6 enabled as it was delivered. I had the choice of loading a "module" or upgrade to the latest version of RouterOS. I choose the latter...


Cheers, Michiel
