It's being done a lot in the South East Asia. We are just getting our first requests for people actually needing to use IPv6 on our routers. I'm sure a lot of the bugs will be worked out by the time most in the US get started with it.

Anyone configure one on their network yet? I've done this at home with one of my Linux boxes and it works great on Linux and OS X. That's as far as I got. > There are a lot of questions for anything thinking about IPv6 > integration / migration, and I'd like to discuss some of the options as > far as moving forward with IPv6 deployment with anyone that is interested. We went to an ARIN IPv6 meeting, and even got our initial IPv6 allocation. The biggest problem pointed out by the DOD presenter was that nobody's eating their own dog food. All the vendors are making IPv6 "compliant" gear, but it doesn't cooperate well (he cited various issues in their testing). That leads to the second problem, which is since nothing works, nobody deploys. Without anybody deploying, nothing gets tested so that it works. A big chicken-and-egg problem... After getting our deployment, I asked our (big name) upstream providers about setting up concurrent IPv6 peering or tunneling, whichever would work. They were reluctant and said they weren't really ready or couldn't do it. -- Bryan ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- WISPA Wants You!
