I wholeheartedly disagree. The next generation of network engineers should be completely IPv6-focused to increase IPv6 adoption rates on the internet. Using IPv4 internally will only steer them in the direction of using IPv4 on the internet as well, as the protocols require different levels of knowledge.

I think a product that requires use of IPv4 as best practice should reconsider its recommended configuration methods and philosophy. IPv6 is the future. Users should be steered towards using future-proof internet protocols, even if there is no absolute necessity to use them internally; increasing its adoption rates in any network will improve adoption rates.

Anyway, I highly doubt this mailing list is the right place to discuss this. My question was answered in your first reply, for which I would like to thank you.
