http://www.networkworld.com/news/2007/121707-how-feds-are-dropping-the-ball-side-1.html Seems to me IETF71 will be very close to the US deadline: "U.S. federal agencies must meet a mandate to be capable of supporting IPv6 on their backbone networks by June 2008. But carriers tell me that only 10% or 15% of federal agencies are actually buying IPv6 service" It is my understanding that IETF network has been IPv4 and IPv6 during most meetings for a while now and more often with access to an IPv6 backbone (no tunnel)? I tried to configure my laptop at IETF70 to use IPv6, I could see my cards with valid IPv6 addresses, but it was not obvious to get it all working... So decided to report it for later... I'm very curious on the results of this experiment. What is 30mn to talk about IPv6 when all are focused on getting it to work on their own machines. May be people will go back with IPv6 enabled laptops where they can test if their applications are working on IPv6 too. Key people can be prepared, the jabber rooms must be IPv6 and IPv4 accessible already, so it means people outside the meeting will be able to get to them with IPv4, people at the meeting will have to use IPv6 to get to them. Just ensure that the rapporteurs are familiar with IPv6. ICANN can be involved, to ensure the DNS works before the experiment, etc... Etc... -- Franck Martin ICT Specialist franck@xxxxxxxxx SOPAC, Fiji GPG Key fingerprint = 44A4 8AE4 392A 3B92 FDF9 D9C6 BE79 9E60 81D9 1320 "Toute connaissance est une reponse a une question" G.Bachelard |
