i think you will find that they are mandating _support_ for IPv6 which is quite seperate to the _use_ of IPv6. what we need to see is that everything in the core of networks can handle IPv6 by the time everything at the edge can use it. only once people are convinced that services won't be broken will they host them on IPv6 space. this is easier to do within networks where the environment is known. can you imagine how long it's going to take before major public websites are hosted on IPv6 space?!? cheers marty -- IMPORTANT: This email is intended for the use of the individual addressee(s) named above and may contain information that is confidential, privileged or unsuitable for overly sensitive persons with low self-esteem, no sense of humour or irrational religious beliefs.
