Ralph Have you been following this thread? What odd questions and assumptions...appears as if folk have no idea re: IPv6 addressing ..all end nodes will be globally addressable for 'practical purposes' is such an odd statement to make...either: 1. meaning that all end nodes will have globally unique and addressable addresses; or 2. that all end nodes will 'automagically' be able to be reached through the IPv6 routing and routed protocols. Obviously #2 is sound but probably not what this person meant...
