No, because that presumes that IPv6 will be used for production only when it mostly replaces IPv4. It's more realistic to assume that the first production uses of IPv6 are those for which IPv4 is not satisfactory for one reason or another - e.g. lack of available addresses, inability to use the desired applications in the presence of NAT, etc. OTOH, the IETF meeting net has never been entirely for production services - there's also been something of a history of using it to eat our own dogfood and learning how to make it tasty enough that we like it. Remote video and audio access via multicast, wireless LANs, etc. Keith _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
