Also: One reason that may explain France’s early adoption of IPv6 is that France has formed a multitude of valuable IPv6-based associations on the past decade. This activity has greatly contributed to the acquisition and dissemination of IPv6 knowledge. These organizations consist of the G6, whose primary task is IPv6 experimentation and information exchange. The G6 was founded in 1995 by researchers in academia and industry. G6’s overall goal is the gradual building of a new infrastructure required for the Internet to survive. The G6, like Cisco, is focused on an effective and seamless transition IPv4 to IPv6. It is the primary catalyst for advances in IPv6 networking in France. In other words, very early (15 years ago), the French Internet community formed an organization to move IPv6 forward through coordination and persuasion rather than by preaching from the outside. In the larger Internet, I've seen a remarkable absence of that sort of coordination.
