Yup. We've also had *very* similar discussions a number of times. I'd been trying to stay out of this tread because rant, but I'd really encourage people to read some of the archives and similar. An IPv6-only SSID already exists -- it's even currently called "ietf-v6ONLY" (For users wanting pure IPv6 ). There is also "ietf-nat64" (IPv6 stack with NAT64). This information is regularly communicated -- for example: Jim's email "[97all] IETF 97 Network Information – Seoul, South Korea" the IETF NOC reports - e.g: for IETF97 - https://www.ietf.org/proceedings/97/slides/slides-97-ietf-sessa-noc-report-00.pdf , Slide 6 shows associations per SSID. 3 on ietf-v6ONLY and 19 on ietf-nat64. As someone who's been involved in the NOC, I'm slightly irritated by the "You should really supply X, everyone wants it, how do I get this done?!" tone when it's been available (and not very widely used) for many years, and that a few seconds looking would have shown this. There has also been lots of previous discussion on this, for example: IETF 97 Plenary - https://www.ietf.org/proceedings/97/minutes/minutes-97-ietf-00.html 7. IAB Open Mic Session "John Brzozowski referred to the IAB statement on IPv6, and suggested making the primary IETF SSID v6-only, perhaps with NAT64. One thing Comcast is working on is v6-only for end-user devices, supporting NAT64 and other implementations. They are seeing an increase in IPv6 traffic and a decrease in IPv4 traffic. John Brzozowski said that it makes sense for the IETF community's primary SSID to outline a path forward for IPv6-only. Jari Arkko said that he would like to see some of this, and thinks that an incremental approach is what we need. Lee Howard asked how he would like the IAB to write tht plan. Jari Arkko replied that an Internet-Draft would work. * Mark Townsley noted that the IETF turned off IPv4 for an hour at IETF 71 in Philadelphia back in 2008. There are other technical conferences of size that are going this already. Mark Townsley suggest that we move to IPv6-only, and turn off NAT64 during the plenary as an experiment. * David Schinazi expressed support John Brzozowski's initiative towards IPv6-only." ------------ IETF71 IPv4 Outage - https://wiki.tools.isoc.org/IETF71_IPv4_Outage IETF network incremental plan -- 16 Nov 2016 - https://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ietf/current/msg99866.html [v6ops] IPv6-only wifi during IETF meetings? - expect higher energy consumption -- 16 Nov 2016 - https://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/v6ops/current/msg25211.html Moving to having the primary SSID be v6 only, or nat64 or whatever is definitely doable, but it should really be approached in a reasoned manner, looking at things like how the network currently works, responses from the surveys, etc. W > > Michal > > > -- I don't think the execution is relevant when it was obviously a bad idea in the first place. This is like putting rabid weasels in your pants, and later expressing regret at having chosen those particular rabid weasels and that pair of pants. ---maf
