Don't forget there's also the group of people who worked on the NRL stack.... The other question that people have to consider whenever IPv6 comes up: with whom are you going to communicate? Right now, there is no globally-routed IPv6 infrastructure, and there is unlikely to be any, any time soon (IOS 12, anyone?). I am prefectly happy with the state of the world where we can advance our technological goals in the context of IPv4, and let other parties provide an IPv6 implementation. -GAWollman -- Garrett A.
