There are specifications for them being developed in the IETF, BBF,  
and Cable Labs. Basically, all of the usual suspects are interested in  
having product that meets needs.

We had a discussion today about IPv6 today. During our open thinking  
the topic of client equipment came up.
We all commented that we have not seen any consumer grade IPv6  
enable internet gateways (routers/firewalls), a kin to the ever  
popular Linksys 54G series, DLinks , SMCs or Netgears.

Does anyone have any leads to information about such products (In  
production or planned production)?

We are thinking that most vendors are going to wait until Ma and Pa  
home user are screaming for them.

fred.  check your mail system.  it is regurgitating email from 2001,
except it is modifying the headers to have current dates.
