Ask yourself, as an ISP, how much more you are willing to pay your transit providers for IPv4 + IPv6 transit, and how you are going to get the money for that and for the deployment/retraining costs. Then ask yourself, as an ISP, what benefit you get from IPv6.
As yourself, as an ISP if you can afford not to be testing IPv6 today. I don't think it's ready for deployment on any wide scale, due to a number of factors. However, I do believe it will happen, and sooner rather then later, due to the demand for addresses. ISP's should not be offering it as a service yet, or charging extra for it, but they better be working on figuring out how it works, so when the day comes they can convert quickly. -- Leo Bicknell - bicknell () ufp org Systems Engineer - Internetworking Engineer - CCIE 3440 Read TMBG List - tmbg-list-request () tmbg org, www.tmbg.org
