as i pointed out, cisco has crap ipv6 support...juniper and foundry both have solid hardware support (and have had).
My point: many shops are Cisco. This required buying new hardware.
this is mostly FUD and an attitude in futility: ipv4 will be gone within a few years. ipv6 is the only path forward. so, you can continue to complain that v6 isn't v4, or, you can start pushing your vendors for better support.
there are isps with native v6 support here in the us: http://www.sixxs.net/faq/connectivity/?faq=ipv6transit
level3, tata, hurricane electric, global crossing, cogent, nlayer, etc, etc
etc, etc indeed. Did you notice how SHORT that list is compared to the number of transit providers out there? This is not even close to critical mass. I'm also not sure you know what FUD means.
- ARIN support
getting space from arin is trivial. arin's support for v6 is unequivocal.
When money is no object, ALL of what I brought up is trivial.
see the above link: if your providers don't offer v6, get new ones.
if your vendors don't support v6, ask them why and look for others
I think you missed my point. You might as well just sum up your entire message with "buy new equipment and get new providers." Daryl
