As far as I know, pretty much all hardware made in the last 20 years ought to be able to do IPv6. Slightly more recently, pretty much all software ought to handle IPv5. I think that what doesn't support IPv6 is many people and deployments. I'm an example. The ISP that routes my /24 doesn't support IPv6. Not sure why. They must think that none of their clients need or want it. I could use IPv6 because I have a second ISP (Rogers) that does support IPv6. But it seems easier to leave things as they are. So I'm a typical cause of the problem. This would change in a flash if some site I cared about was IPv6-only. Say Google or Red Hat.
