No, I'm not concerned about Butch, especially since there will be *some* customers who want IPv6, so it makes sense for many ISPs to provide the option. I'm thinking about the way Y2K spurred a big run on equipment sales, as perfectly good gear was replaced out of fear. It was good for the economy in 1999 and just awful in 2000 when sales plummeted. In the case of v6, I can think of certain *large* router vendors who are pushing it very, very hard, spurred on by the fact that their older kit cannot do v6 at high speed. Unless you're a big backbone player with scads of traffic to move, it seems to me that software-based routers today are a much better deal. One of my big concerns with them has been that they are good for Ethernet but don't always have a lot of WAN interfaces, like DS1 and DS3. But Imagestream seems to have both, including a channelized DS3 card. I assume Vyatta does, or could, too, though ISTM Imagestream makes their own cards. >On Feb 7, 2011, at 10:05 AM, Butch Evans <but...@butchevans.com> wrote: > > > On 02/07/2011 09:40 AM, Jeremie Chism wrote: > >> It will just turn into 1999 all over again with businesses everywhere > >> worried they won't be able to use the Internet so they bring in high > >> priced consultants to show them how to transition to IPV6. > > > > Not all of us are that high priced! :-) -- Fred Goldstein k1io fgoldstein "at" ionary.com ionary Consulting http://www.ionary.com/ +1 617 795 2701 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WISPA Wants You!
