I think, however, that this will be less dramatic than other things. This is a "relatively" simple software change. The one thing it *will* do is make sure that all the old hardware out there that runs BGP won't work anymore and have to be updated. This is arguably a good thing. Also remember that this is still some time away. Getting ever closer, but still a future event.
Given the presentation at the last NANOG, the "old" routers running 16-bit code / hardware / ASICs can just keep going for a very long time. Or did I miss some important point? -- TTFN, patrick
