Dear WG,
as the RIPE 71 approaches, I would like to revive discussion about the
IPv6-only network during meeting, that has been kindly provided since
RIPE 67.
I think the technology is mature enough to be provided as a regular RIPE
NCC service during the meeting - that means regular network name and,
most important, a password that is propagated in the same way the normal
Wi-Fi network password is. This is especially important for the one
third of newcomers that have had a big troubles learning the password of
the IPV6ONLYEXP network.
After RIPE 70, I proposed a "drastic" approach [1], renaming the
dual-stack meeting network to -legacy and promote the NAT64 network as
the default. This is the same way they do it on FOSDEM since 2014 [2].
But maybe we could try a slow start first, keeping the dual-stacked
network the default and offering the NAT64 network with some suffix like
-v6only.
Any ideas?
