Eric, hi. Yes, as primary author of RIPE-501 I completely agree with this statement. I was searching for words saying exactly same thing, well put :) On the other hand my thinking goes into direction, that what you say needs to be done in "mandatory" sections of different equipment specs. I see "mandatory" sections as prerequisite for IPv6 to be "deployed in a secure, interoperable and manageable way but no more". Optional requirements is a candy for those vendors, who did their homework or at least biggest part of it. If tender iniciator says "mandatory is non-debatable, but you get more points for optional requirements and vendor with more optional requirements wins and gets the business", this might be a good reason why to implement as much IPv6 in equipment as it can be done. I see this as encouragement to develop and push IPv6 deployment on the next qualitative level. > > Hope this helps and does not sound to vendor originated (see my affiliation) Eric, we know who you are ;) ;) Cheers, Jan
