Changing over to IPv6 *is* painful.

just my .2 cents
First we need to get it to work.
Hi kurtis,
what is _not_ working according your opinion ?
Tools is the first that comes to mind. If you want the larger carriers to use it they need to adopt their provisioning systems, but that is not a fault of IPv6. I think we need to urgently solve multihoming, some PI like mechanism, and I think we should take out site-locals, or at least minimize their use until it's to late and we are stuck with the RFC1918 problem and applications that won't work.
Okay, so let's address this one by one: - what ideas do we have regarding multihoming, what is/should be deprecated and what preferred ?
That is a problem that will be solved when there is enough demand.
