### IPv6
IPv6 would be a nice option, also, but we can't depend on it yet. Docker support
is in progress: [Docker issue #2974](https://github.com/dotcloud/docker/issues/2974),
[Docker issue #6923](https://github.com/dotcloud/docker/issues/6923),
[Docker issue #6975](https://github.com/dotcloud/docker/issues/6975).
IPv6 support would be nice but requires significant internal changes in a few
areas. First pods should be able to report multiple IP addresses
[Kubernetes issue #27398](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/27398)
and the network plugin architecture Kubernetes uses needs to allow returning
IPv6 addresses too [CNI issue #245](https://github.com/containernetworking/cni/issues/245).
Kubernetes code that deals with IP addresses must then be audited and fixed to
support both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses and not assume IPv4.
Additionally, direct ipv6 assignment to instances doesn't appear to be supported
by major cloud providers (e.g., AWS EC2, GCE) yet. We'd happily take pull
requests from people running Kubernetes on bare metal, though. :-)
