No ISP is running 100% FOSS. Its practically impossible. n Vendors
with m devices is a truth of the trade. None can escape that.
The only way out is - vendors take over ISP and use their pure 'end to
end' solutions :) this they'll never do. They are clever enough to put
ball in the competition's court.

Take a VPLS circuit with platinum labeled DSCP. They'll run over
anything to give you quality.

I talk of production only. You know this.

NAT and MPLS almost eliminated need of IPv6. Then need of IPv6 had the
rebirth. I have seen the TRAI move to make IPv6 happen fast.
Madam Radia Perlman once told me - "Ipv6 will never replace IPv4.
There will be islands of IPv6 connected by IPv4". Lets see where
things converge.

we all know about the serious implementor's choice. Ibrahim Haddad
confessed on the CGL vision himself :)

You took 'discussion' wrongly.
FYI Internet had first congestion collapse on 25-10-1986. Van Jacobson
and Mike Carels immediately started working on it. The output was
summarized in the seminal paper 'Congestion Avoidance and Control'.
They even went ahead on gateway side of that. Madam Sally wrote RED
paper with Van Jacobson and everything was implemented nicely.
Improvements are still going on. Even in Linux based systems. Do we
get even a single 'practical' Internetworking paper on Linux? Its not
because they dont care discussing and putting it like that, but also
that nobody cares for them doing Internetworking. State of EPFL
efforts,state of Alexey and Confessions of Haddad make strong
conclusion against Linux based Internetworking. I still dont blow
that. Let it be.

looking forward to it. :)
where do you work?india?
