RE: FAA - ASDI servers

Can they simply extend the mandate?   We need to setup new connectivity
to the FFA and was hoping to go IPv6 right out of the gate.
Cheers

But, since the "F" stands for Federal, if it is still up in two years,
it must be reachable by IPv6. Today, the odds are pretty slim as almost
no federal systems are reachable by IPv6. It will be an interesting two
years for a lot of federal IT folks as the mandate is from the OMB who
can pull a budget for non-compliance.
