I just wanted to know whether there was any plan to turn off the IPv4 stack
for an hour at IETF 72 just like it happened @ 71 ?
http://wiki.tools.isoc.org/IETF71_IPv4_Outage
See: IPv4 off at the IETF 71 plenary for 1 hour.
http://arstechnica.com/articles/culture/ietf-ipv6-switchoff.ars
Looks like this was well received by everybody and my own opinion
is that it would be good to have such an experiment at every future
IETF meeting for the following reasons:
* publicity about IPv4 addresses running out
* pressure on operating system vendors to be IPv6 compliant
* a measure of improvement in the number of people that are able to connect.
As an international subset of the Internet Community, I'd say it would be
interesting to see how, as years go by, problems in connecting using IPv6
will (hopefully) fade away. Again - great publicity.
* bringing awareness
What I'm particularly interested in, is looking positively at creating a
synergy to make everybody feel that IPv6 is for everyone, just like "The
Internet is for everyone".
Feedback welcome,
O.
