   An IPv6 segment is easy since no hardware is required.  It is routing =
or switching native IPv6 that requires hardware or firmware updates.  =
IPv6 over IPv4 doesn't require that.

     No you don't.  One point of IPv6 over IPv4 is that it only requres =
IPv4
  support of the infrastructure.  At the time time, you can have native =
IPv6
  on your subnet using automatically assigned link local addresses.
