I believe vendors will go where-ever their users show them the money.
Create the demand, the offer will show up.

Hi,

what about also urging the vendors to fully support IPv6 (like forwarding in

hardware, increase functionality, you name it...)?

Cheers,
Florian

Betreff: [ipv6-wg] DRAFT: RIPE Community Resolution on IPv4 Depletion and

Deployment of IPv6

Hello Address Policy Working Group, IPv6 Working Group,

as announced yesterday on the APWG list, here's the first draft of the
"we are going to tell the world what the RIPE community recommends
regarding the end of IPv4 / advent of IPv6".

The text has been drafted by the RIPE NCC, but the actual recommendation

needs to come from "the community", so change whatever you think needs
changing.

Face-to-face discussion will take place in the APWG and IPv6 WG meeting on Thursday, October 25th. (Short discussion in APWG early morning, time to think about it during the day, final decision in the IPv6 WG meeting on

Thursday afternoon).

DRAFT - RIPE Community Resolution on IPv4 Depletion and
Deployment of IPv6
RIPE 55: 22 - 26 October 2007

The RIPE community resolves as follows:

1) At current allocation rates, the remaining pool of unallocated
IPv4 address space is likely to be allocated within the next two
to four years. Although the Internet will continue to function as
normal after this point this event will have a significant
influence on future network operations as well as IP address
management and allocation policies. Therefore we recognise that
the widespread deployment of IPv6 will be essential to sustain
future growth of the Internet.

2) We urge network operators and Internet Service Providers
(ISPs) to deploy IPv6 across their networks as soon as possible.
This deployment must include providing IPv6 access to End Users
and ensuring services are accessible by IPv6.

3) We recognise that the responsibility for creating policies
related to the management of critical Internet resources in the
RIPE NCC service region rests with the RIPE community and the
proven success of the RIPE Policy Development Process (PDP). In
recognition of this responsibility, we commit to continue
development of effective policies for the responsible management
of IPv4 and IPv6 address space.

4) We agree that this situation requires a committed effort from
network operators, ISPs and the RIPE community.  We urge that the
widespread deployment of IPv6 be made a high priority.
