Akamai To Offer IPv6 To All In April 110
netbuzz writes "Akamai says that it will offer IPv6 services to its entire customer base beginning next month – a long-awaited move that is expected to be a major boon to the adoption rate of the next-generation Internet Protocol. Akamai hoped to release its production-grade IPv6 services by the end of 2011, but the task proved more difficult than originally anticipated. Akamai has been beta testing its IPv6 services with key customers since last fall."

Based on my own company checks for readiness I assume the big hold up feature parody with IP4 and IP6 security software and equipment.
I know many of our security appliances have been able to route IP6 for a long time, but few of them could filter or manage the traffic with any sort of detail close to that of IP4 since the features had not been ported.
