The tide is coming. The tide is wet. The tide is full of IPv6 water. Get over it.Awesome, so you've solved the multi-homing issues with v6? The RA/DHCPv6 issues? (I'll just leave it at those three).
Multi-homing in IPv6 works just like it does in IPv4. Folks may be working on better ways, but that's the reality of the moment, and it's a deployable reality. RA/DHCPv6 is being worked on, and progress is being made...although slower than I would like. But remember, IPv4 isn't done 30+ years on. The IETF has entertained proposals to improve/extend IPv4 every year. NAT wasn't in the original spec. MPLS was added much later, etc. If you expect IPv6 to have 100% feature parity day one and then never change, you have unrealistic expectations. It's deployable today. Heck Comcast is deploying to end-users as we speak. Maybe in a few scenarios it still has significant issues that there are deployment problems, but you find those by doing, not by waiting. The networks I run have been dual stacked for 5+ years. It works. -- Leo Bicknell - bicknell () ufp org - CCIE 3440 PGP keys at http://www.ufp.org/~bicknell/
