There are situations where IPv6 becomes mandatory at conferences -
DHCP address pool shortage. Because there are a lot of 802.11 users,
and the number of laptop/802.11 users increase, it is getting harder
to estimate # of users on wireless segment (with wired ethernet we
could set an upper limit by # of wires).
At USENIX annual few years ago, DHCP lease time was set to too large
value, and DHCP address pool went totally sold out. I was doing
just fine because I used IPv6 :-)

we should be IPv6-only at Tokyo IETF meeting, year 2002 :-)

great! maybe we need to supply easy-to-setup configuration for
terminal room team. I'll be very happy to help.
