Re: VM IPv6 plans?

Hi everyone

I have been looking through the thread and thought i'd add my twopence worth.

I believe VM have said on multiple occasions lately that they have enough IPv4 addresses for quite some time.

Routers that have not got dual stack firmware are obsolete now.

I was wondering if VM could set up as a tunnel broker for its customers allowing IPv6 access for those who want it?
When sufficient people are using IPv6 maybe tunnel 4 in 6 then.

I'm probably being a synical so and so when I say that an isp want like giving out 48 or 64 bit addresses because they cannot capatalise on the vast address space handed out.

I can see 6 being used commercially by companies with multiple subnets and us poor isp domestic customers getting the cast off of v4.

Anyway not trying to offend anyone here just voicing an opinion.

Bye
