Am I the only one that thinks IPv6 is a minimum of ten years out before you see actual non-geek demand?

It will probably happen before that. The Japanese government requirement that all businesses be fully ipv6 compliant before 2005 is certainly going to have a major impact on vendor ipv6 implementations, from the core to the desktop So while you may not get 30Mpps on your backbone router, you're probably not going to be stuck with a white elephant rate-limited to 200Kpps either. One day, you may even be able to run an ipv6-only desktop from vendor M, who knows? Nick

I saw a DISA memo yesterday that mandates IPv6 compliance by 2008. --bill
