Overall, the reality in the US is that NAT-firewalls relieved the issue so it's a problem that doesn't need fixing for most networks here. The early adopters of ipv4 got Class A's EACH (Apple, GE, Ford, Apple, DEC, DOD, MIT, IBM, etc. etc). I run a computer company with hundreds if not thousands of customers. I know one using IPv6 and they did it as an academic exercise. So I consider myself an early adopter of technology and IPv6 makes BetaMax look impressive. I am expecting that our: Bandwidth monitoring won't work with ipv6 Our DoS monitors won't work with ipv6 Our Switches might not work with ipv6 Our Router will need an upgrade Overall, I'm expecting this to be a large project. And realistically, I have all the IPv4 IPs we need. IPv6 is a complete waste of time with almost no benefit except my interest in supporting the ASF project. regards, KAM -- Configure bugmail: https://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
