Hi, now this is getting philosophical, and might better belong to the ipv6-wg mailing list... but still. On Thu, Jun 17, 2004 at 01:05:45PM -0700, Randy Bush wrote:

i would think that the primary goal was to move the customers' packets. if they want us to move ipv6, them it's moving ipv6. we are concerned that it is deployABLE, because customers may want it.
but our job is not to get ipv6 deployed.
Actually it *is* part of my job description here :-) If the move to IPv6 is ever going to happen, we should better have a large part of "the network" prepared for it - and that includes rolling out v6 address space to ISPs, deploying it in our networks, and learning from lots of mistakes, so that eventually we can move customer's IPv6 packets in good faith that they might arrive at their indended goals.
