[ipv6-wg] A suggestion about IPv6 Training

[Gabriella Paolini <gabriella.paolini@localhost]

Just a suggestion about IPv6 training and what we can do for IPv6.
Under EU project Euchinagrid we (GARR) organized some tutorial to move 
grid programmers to a transparent network approach  in their codes.
http://www.euchinagrid.org/IPv6/IPv6_presentation/Introduction_to_IPv6_programming.pdf
This item could seem to be marginal to the network "affairs", but 
network programming  is  a fundamental point of contact between network 
and applications.
Now network programming is dramatically IPv4 oriented... we support an 
evolution to a "protocol free" programming that demands all is possible 
to stack.
Another point that we are trying to support is to change the point of 
view about the IPv6 introduction in a user network.
Usually  the focus is on moving the users/customers/clients to access to 
IPv6 resources .  
In our last workshop, we said to our users: first point: move all the 
services to IPv6 (web, mail, and all the other that you have) and after 
plan the clients connection.
The message is: when a large number of IPv6 only users will arrive (and 
it will happen), they will be able to see your contents.
