Likely because some devices still don't implement IPv6 bootstrap. Try =
to recover a Cisco router via TFTP boot in an IPv6 only environment.
I have been trying to remind my vendors to think about IPv6 first and =
IPv4 as a secondary capability to supplement it, I do encourage everyone =
to make this part of your procurement of any equipment in 2011 and =
beyond.
eg: If your DNS provider doesn't do IPv6, switch. (has tucows solved =
the AAAA glue issue yet? i think i need to switch... and no, i don't =
feel like using a hack process via a web form, I actually want real =
automated interfaces and support...)
