Current fragmentation is constrained; this could plausibly motivate more people to pursue other paths and thereby blow things up.
I wouldn't suggest doing it without A LOT of coordination with stakeholders. While we're on the subject, someone else suggested that one source of authority would be the Tier-1 vendors, the other would be governments. Tying the two sub-threads together I believe there's sufficient authority vested in the DNS management and RIRs to accomplish a transition to an, effectively, all-IPv6 internet without either of the above leading tho they would have to follow of course. -- -Barry Shein The World | bzs () TheWorld com | http://www.TheWorld.com Purveyors to the Trade | Voice: 800-THE-WRLD | Dial-Up: US, PR, Canada Software Tool & Die | Public Access Internet | SINCE 1989 *oo*
