IPv6 has its problems, but running out of addresses is not one of them. For those of us worried about abuse management, the problem is the opposite, even the current tiny sliver of addresses is so huge that techniques from IPv4 to map who's doing what where don't scale. Well, in IPv4... NAT bro

Very good points. Having been in the WISP industry for more than 10 years now. I know WISPs who have thousands of customers and only 1 or 2 class C addresses. The need for public routable IP addresses is not that much of a concern for them. Plus, a good majority of WISP equipment does no

We should support dual stack, as someone may stop supporting IPv4 in addition to IPv6, because dual stack costs so much. :-) Masataka Ohta

You will always have someone who doesn't understand. But every network operator should have a sense of responsibility to learn IPv6 and implement dual stacking. To be honest, in 2004/2005 I decided not to dive into IPv6 heavily but everyone has a "wake up" call. All we can do is keep stressing t
