It is possible that they deployed a second group of routers to do ipv6 rather than bet it all on a dual stack. Heck I've seen engineers at various places digging 7507's out of the dumpster in hopes of getting their company going on v6. HE.NET has been doing ipv6 for a long time now so it is (also) possible that their deployment pre-dates a 75% bug free IOS version for dual stack. I can't comment on any sort of pricing going on. Rumor has it that some transit and hosting companies are indeed selling IPv6 today (and surprisingly enough actually have customers buying it). -Scott
