Can they simply extend the mandate? We need to setup new connectivity to the FFA and was hoping to go IPv6 right out of the gate. Cheers Ryan

But, since the "F" stands for Federal, if it is still up in two years, it must be reachable by IPv6. Today, the odds are pretty slim as almost no federal systems are reachable by IPv6. It will be an interesting two years for a lot of federal IT folks as the mandate is from the OMB who can pull a budget for non-compliance. -- R.
