Fair point. I'm sure the a commission appointed by the appropriate legislators will be happy to spend a few millions debating that issue. Personally, I would argue that a full implementation of IPv6 means that v4 could be phased out without adverse effect on the production network. But of course, how would we define "adverse effect on the production network"? :)
Even more problematic: What do you do with a company that's fully v6-ready, but still has several major interconnects to other companies that *aren't* ready, and thus still using v4?
I totally agree with everything you wrote. It proves the point that having v6 ready technologies in "the network", does not mean a network, or even a company is fully v6 ready. Way too many stakeholders and outside dependencies. To me, it means that "we", as in network professionals, should be ready to save the day when company leaders finally realize they have no option and need v6 to be implemented fast. And secretly, I've been hoping for that moment. "Well, sir, the network has been IPv6 ready for years, but the software groups and their leadership have so far blatantly refused to update their code and support it". I guess that I'll join you in retirement before that moment comes. Thanks, Sabri
