I don't see how this follows at all. I can sell you a box that supports V6 and that provides much lower performance for V6 than V4, but that still meets your requirement of supporting V6. You may be trying to tell me that SP's are unwilling to buy such boxes and explicitly want boxes where V6 and V4 performance is the same. If that is what you are saying, it is very interesting, but it goes far beyond simply saying that SPs are buying V6-supporting devices. -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPv6 working group mailing list ipv6@ietf.org Administrative Requests: https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipv6 --------------------------------------------------------------------
