"now -1 year" was a good time to roll out v6. those who do not have v6 in their backbones today are lagging and will have to pay for it. early adopter pain was 10 years ago (line cards with v4 only feature sets and similar b0rkenendness.) access networks (especially dsl and cable) are a pathetic story in themselves wrt v6, but the backbone has been a breeze to v6-enable for years. peoples RFQen should have started _requiring_ v6 transit and feature parity for v6 and v4 at least two years ago. I did. it helps. -- Måns Nilsson primary/secondary/besserwisser/machina MN-1334-RIPE +46 705 989668 SANTA CLAUS comes down a FIRE ESCAPE wearing bright blue LEG WARMERS ...
