*********************** Your mail has been scanned by InterScan VirusWall. ***********-*********** "One thing i find promising/good: Lots of people here sent their v6 traces to the list, so it's not just a few random geeks messing with v6 as much anymore, it's there. - jared" Hi, Well this thread primarily, plus the problems I am having currently getting multicast & pim working correctly, have spurred me onto do the reading and multi-stack the network and start talking native v6 across the core to the various IXs + transits I am connecting to. I must confess that having read various Cisco + MS documents on v6 I cant quite see what all the fuss about its lots of work and its really hard is all about - but then I only operate a "small" UK network and multi-stack was way less complicated for me than tunnels. So I would recommend others have a look too. I have no idea whether there is a market for v6 connectivity / hosting amongst UK businesses, I guess we will find out. I wonder how long it will be before v4 internet is turned off??? Regards Ben

Well, just to give a rather hilarious example. http://www.ecp.nl/ipv6/ The "IPv6 Task Force" for the Netherlands, backed by the government. Given that it's an EU initiative, I think we will at least see a little v6 market in the EU for various local effects of that initiative ;) Also, I believe that the site above doesn't have v6 connectivity yet, though are working on it (hosting provider doesn't do v6, the ISP of the hosting provider on the other hand does ;D)...

<tongue firmly in cheek> When the brits decide that it's a mainland historical quirk ;D </tongue firmly in cheek>
