That is an option. But in order to not punish late entries to the market, it should also include a fixed timeframe when EVERYBODY has to stop using v4 (at least on the public Internet) ... I don't see any technical reason why providers all over the world still aren't able (or willing) to do v6 ... of course I know you can't force customers to provide services on v6 (or even to use v6 - I believe of our customers, maybe 1% actively use v6, and another few percent use it unknowingly :) ). >From our point of view, we could drop external v4 pretty quickly if it weren't required to reach (or be reached) by v4-only users/services ... -garry -- Garry Glendown * Professional Services & Solutions NETHINKS GmbH | Bahnhofstraße 16 | 36037 Fulda T +49 661 25 000 0 | F +49 661 25 000 49 | [email protected] Geschäftsführer: Uwe Bergmann, Bastian Marmetschke Vorsitzender des Aufsichtsrats: Garry Glendown | AG Fulda HRB 2546 PGP Fingerprint: B1CF 4952 F6EB E060 8A10 B957 700E F97F B412 DD32
