I am aware of two implementations out there, and the unfortunate truth is that both of them suck, in different ways. (Although at least one of them, I am told, is getting significantly better stylistically.) Until this situation changes a bit more (or we find someone interested in doing an IPv6 implementation that obeys style(9) and isn't altogether bletcherous), there should not be IPv6 code in the -current kernel. However, having said that, I certainly see no bar to making whatever changes in the rest of the kernel are necessary to support the drop-in of one of these stacks (probably the NRL one). -GAWollman --
