Hi, I subscribed to reply to the recent mailing of "sipXecs and IPV6" on this list, but I couldn't figure out how to (easily) reply to a message prior to my subscription of the mailing list.
In response to Tony: "While I think it's a good idea to have a plan, I don't see the point in building something if noone is coming for 2 or 3 years." I am finishing the technology infrastructure setup for a new company, and it made a lot of sense to me to do this with ipv6 from the start to avoid migration later on. What is the point of using ipv4 in a fresh setup for a company, rather than just using ipv6 from the start? I have to route ipv4 traffic, so I do have a dual-stack setup internally but really this is only to ease communication with "the old Internet". Internally my services run ipv6 only. I can understand why migration is going to be difficult for companies with existing infrastructure, but I'm sure that if you were in my position (starting from scratch) you would also prefer ipv6 to alleviate future headaches. Again in response to Tony: "Does anyone know when ipv6 will be available on gateways and phones too? Not to mention wireless dect/802.11 wifi base units for handheld devices? Or iphone/androids for sip apps?" Polycom claims that their phones support ipv6 already. My phones for this system are sitting in boxes until I setup sipxecs, but so far as I know the phones will do ipv6. For softphones and other devices, I can understand if they have to communicate on the ipv4 side right now, which is why dual-stack is a good option for the transition. In my environment, I only have to worry about the phones on-site so things are a bit easier for me... Anyways, I just wanted to voice that "I'm here and ready for ipv6". I have noticed that in many projects (I'm looking at you ClearOS) there is this mentality that "nobody is using ipv6, so we won't do it until one day years from now". I would be willing to test, and potentially to even offer a sandbox environment for developers to remotely build / test code in an ipv6 environment. Unfortunately I do not have enough time personally to help on the programming side, but I would be willing to provide resources to support development.
