Interesting IPv6 viral video
Not quite accurate and a bit too dramatic on the panic side but the approach is interesting to put C-Level folks in the hot seat about v6. Would be interesting also to see if folks here get asked by C-Level folks bout IPv6. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYffYT2y-Iw Zaid

Cute. Silly, but cute. I think I see Tony Hain's hand somewhere in this. Tony??? -- R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.

No idea where this came from, and no I didn't have any part in it. If I had, the rental rates on addresses would have been much more in the range of extortion... ;)

ROFLMAO... Yeah, it's overstated and ridiculous, but, I especially laughed at the follow-on video for "ignore the benefits of IPv6". Owen

If you have been trying to get your C-Level folks to understand the problem for months or years and they won't listen, yet they come to you after watching this Cisco video then you should go visit www.monster.com, or www.careerbuilder.com. -- Leo Bicknell - bicknell@ufp.org - CCIE 3440 PGP keys at http://www.ufp.org/~bicknell/

I don't have this problem thankfully but I know many do and it is probably the major reason why v6 adoption is slow. Many networks needs money invested to upgrade for v6 readiness. The message is do it now before the costs dramatically increase. The problem with C-level folks is not they don't want to do it but there is no financial incentive for them to do it, if there is no direct benefit to drive revenue then why put the money? The barrier for v6 is not technical it is purely financial, some understand the economics and some don't. Finance people usually think that the longer you can put off expenses the better it looks for your balance sheet. This is really the crux of the problem. Zaid
lol... Is this video by cisco? what a funny way to mis-inform non-tech folks. On Thu, Oct 28, 2010 at 2:08 PM, Zaid Ali <zaid@zaidali.com> wrote:

Yes it is. When do marketing people get it right? I actually think the fun hasn't begun yet. Wait till CNN/FOX etc makes this a big issue and claim the internet is going to come to an end then folks with clue will have to go on TV and calm the hysteria. Zaid

Why would someone with clue want to calm the hysteria? I've had hysterical moments dealing with v6 transitions. Come to and end? Nah. Be a really rough ride? Unless things change, probably. Jack

Wait, if there's no transition to ipv6, the internet will end? And all our piracy and information control problems will end with it? That's just grand! Quick, pass a law against ipv6 adoption! Mandatory death penalty! Why didn't anyone think of this sooner? (NOW who says you can't put the genie back in the bottle? Stupid eggheads! :)
