So to start off, I'm new to following this list so if these points have already been beaten into the ground, feel free to tell me to shut up.
So two things I wonder about the preservation of current IP4 space and delaying IP6 are:
1. Why don't providers use /31 addresses for P2P links? This works fine per rfc 3021 but nobody seems to believe it or use it. Are there any major manufacturers out there that do not support it?
I posed this to the list in January, and learned that apparently there are still some vendors whose products choke with presented with a /31. Search for thread "Using /31 for router links". ~Seth
