Giving away code and hardware is quite the opposite of lucrative, let me assure you. Right. I looked at your message and it does not parse very clearly. Given that it is odd for people to offer to give away boxes, let alone quote a price for the box that they are giving away, I thought you

Still trying to understand deployment scenarios for nat-pt. enterprise native-v6 + v4-nat (as outlined in Michael Sinatra's lightning talk) i am not unhappy with ms's preso except that enterprise keeps whining about 1918 conflicts and Alain Durand's v4v6v4 seem more likely deployment

If you're providing content or network services on v6 and you don't have both a Teredo and 6to4 relay, you should - there are more v6 users on those two than there are on native v6[1]. Talk to me and I'll give you a pre-built FreeBSD image that does it, boot off compact flash or hard

I believe whoever shows off a functional NAT-PT device at the next NANOG might get some praise. I heard it was a bit of a disaster. by the time the show got to apnic/apricot the week after nanog, we had the cisco implementation of nat-pt and totd working and it worked well. randy

My understanding of the mandate is that they (the Department and Agencies) demonstrate passing IPv6 traffic on their backbone from one system out to their backbone and back to another system. A number of agencies, if I remember the number of about 30 have IPv6 allocations. IRS has
