There was an extended discussion of that. It was suggested that IPv6 would be killed by IPv4 IP address exhaustion through route table expansion. I suggested that maybe IPv6 was already dead, and that one might consider instead CLNP/TUBA (RFC1347, RFC1561, et al) because it works already. One would use ISIS and IDRP instead of OSPF and BGP. Then add IPv4 proxy gateways and client support as necessary, etc. I was surprised to find that this is about as much work as what remains for IPv6, and we know that CLNP is stable. I digress. I wrote a detailed message posted on 9/10 on the subject if anyone is interested.
