[ipv6-wg] IPv6 only network at RIPE 68

Hi,

actually, my partly failed test was on Thursday in the afternoon.

See more below, inline:

Excuse the briefness of this mail, it was sent from a mobile device.

That is what I was trying to test. To see if anything in my network or
any of the services would fail.

Exactly what I ment to say. We can not expect to just request
something and the RIPE NCC to provide. Support for an IPv6 only
network will require more work for the NCC and probably a dedicated
FTE because many attendees will come to ask all kind of questions and
require help with troubleshooting all kind of weird problems.

I would see the benefit - it will help attendees to fix broken IPv6
configurations and discover many bugs.
I also see that the decission belongs to the NCC OPS Dept.. they
already do a lot to support the meeting, remote access, etc..

cheers,
elvis
