The problem is that turning on v6, while requiring that v4 continue to work means accepting the limitations and security risks of both protocols. This is not a "transition" - this is another level of indirection (c.f. RFC 1925). A "transition" has an end-state which is clearly defined, and we are only just starting to ferret out the end-state with regard to v6. > In fact, I have not talked about public IPv4 > addresses at all !

That's what you mean by "IPv6-only"? When I talk about IPv6-only, what I mean is "no other layer-3 protocols running: no IPv4, no Appletalk, no IPX, etc." I get that there is rough consensus. I'm waiting for the running code. -David Barak David Barak Need Geek Rock?
