make ipv6 easier to deploy, especially in enterprise. repeat the previous sentence 42 times.
I'm still waiting for the IETF to come around to allowing feature parity between IPv4 and IPv6 when it comes to DHCP. The stance of not allowing the DHCP server to assign a default gateway to the host in IPv6 is a big stumbling point for at least one large enterprise I'm aware of. Right now, the biggest obstacle to IPv6 deployment seems to be the ivory-tower types in the IETF that want to keep it pristine, vs allowing it to work in the real world.
i disagree strongly on one point. ipv6 is about as far from pristine as a protocol can get. an icon of second system syndrome. and it is simpler than it used to be. remember TLAs, NLAs, ... but the dhcp st00pidity does encapsulate the arrogance and stupidity marvelously
