An obvious corollary to this is that ISPs should be planning their v6 offerings now, too. This means routers, databases, operation support systems, CPE for cable and DSL ISPs, etc. Those that don't are likely to find themselves bypassed.
and ISP's should plan on how to do traffic management/engineering in that new world (so start poking your head into the current v6 multihoming 'solution' == shim6) , and vendors should plan on performance at the current level or likely better for bandwidth, pps, route-changes/sec, routing table size... (listen to your customers who are hopefully saying this too?) Oh, and some security thought should probably be had as well... both for applications/os's and networking equipment. -Chris
