All, http://www.techweb.com/wire/story/TWB19991012S0009 Of course Vinton would make these recommendations, but the answers to the questions in this article are a bit too unspecified as to the security issues and barely address the privacy problem with IPv6 presently, not to mention other concerns such as v4tov6 issues. On the other side of this coin see: http://www.techweb.com/se/directlink.cgi?WIR1997060910 And interesting excerpt that seems contrary to what Vinton says is as follows: "MCI is testing IPv6 on its high-speed research backbone that carries traffic for the National Science Foundation, but it has no plans to deploy v6 on its internetMCI commercial service." and.... "From our customer perspective, we have no significant or moderate demand for IPv6," said Rob Hagens, MCI's director of Internet engineering. "They want a faster and cheaper IPv4." So one can easily conclude that old Vinton says one thing and his vaunted MCI/Sprint is doing another. Words don't meet the deeds I would say here Vinton old buddy! >;) Troubles in MCI town maybe???
