Hi Jorge,
What if the move to IPv6 was not too hard?
What if the move to IPv6 did have some positive results?
What if the move to IPv6 meant the reliance on IPv4 was significantly
diminished?
Would that be OK with you?
Thanks,
Mick

>> The end of IPv4 is near, but that doesn't mean the end of the Internet is
here. ?The next chapter gets a new page turned. ?Maybe we will determine
that IPv6 needs to go the way of IPX/Decnet/AppleTalk and some new system
(non-IP even) will take over the world.
IMHO, there is no such thing like "the end of IPv4 is near", what is near is
the exhaustion of the IPv4 address space for new allocations.
Unfortunately, as Bill mentioned, IPv6 does not offer much more than an
expanded address space, quite a different situation with the proprietary
protocols you mentioned, then there is no much benefit/motivation for many
to switch in a hurry.
No doubt that we need to move forward and keep pushing to get IPv6 deployed,
but it will coexist for many many years with IPv4 which will probably never
go 100% away.
