How much notice is adequate when changing widely used behavior on the Internet?
Widely deployed Filters, including uRPF, would probably qualify as this right?
When the ARPANET changed from NCP to TCP/IP how many days advance notice was needed?
When the Internet changed from IPv4 to IPv6 how many days advance notice was needed?
I'm going to show some (alot?) ignorance here... BUT: won't the network go: pure-v4 -> v4+v6 -> v6 (probably with v4 tunnels) -> pure-v6 I don't think its just going to go: POOF! one night, nor in one year... Judging by how long it takes people to upgrade a simple major application or OS it'll take YEARS to upgrade entirely to pure-v6. of course, I could be completely wrong.
