Getting back to the actual topic under discussion, let me see if
I've got this
straight: We're going to switch off the IPv4 network and force
people to use
IPv6 during a plenary, a time when laptops are at maximum density
and hence
wireless connectivity is most problematic?
The humanity! Next thing we'll have to be offline flying to/from the
meeting location! Oh, wait...
I was unable to attend the last three IETFs in person so maybe
something has
changed, but at previous meetings my success rate at keeping a
wireless
connection going during the plenary hasn't been all that great.
This means
IPv6 issues are likely going to be conflated with wireless issues
and heaven
knows what else.
1. The wireless performance during plenaries has been getting a lot
better now that we also have 802.11g and 802.11a and many people
actually use those rather than collide with each other on 802.11b (and
maybe the reduction in attendance helps a bit too)
2. These are exactly the issues we should discover when there is still
some time left before some people will be forced to start running this
experiment 24/7 because there are no IPv4 addresses left for them
