I see it as very desirable now for several reasons besides the usual ones (shortage of address space, explosion of routing tables): - it provides true mobility (still in the works I know), - the larger address space enables one to avoid the NAT abomination, - security is mandatory (even if many people don't wand the overhead), - autoconfiguration is really great > Ohh, OSI was quite a live for a long time as well, until the government > funded life-support was cut, then it evaporated overnight. OSI is still present in two major areas: telecom systems (GSM, supervision of the same) and Aeronautical systems (Air Traffic Management / Control). I work in the latter and we're pushing IPv6 as much as we can. -- Ollivier ROBERT -=- FreeBSD: The Power to Serve! -=- roberto@keltia.freenix.fr FreeBSD keltia.freenix.fr 4.0-CURRENT #75: Tue Nov 2 21:03:12 CET 1999 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
