Changing over to IPv6 *is* painful.

... but should be considered rather soon !

just my .2 cents


First we need to get it to work.


Hi kurtis,

what is _not_ working according your opinion ?
Tools is the first that comes to mind. If you want the larger carriers to use it they need to adopt their provisioning systems, but that is not a fault of IPv6. I think we need to urgently solve multihoming, some PI like mechanism, and I think we should take out site-locals, or at least minimize their use until it's to late and we are stuck with the RFC1918 problem and applications that won't work.

(and we're not talking about hardware vendor support - i know it lacks
in some cases)


That is a problem that will be solved when there is enough demand.
