In v6ops CPE requirements are being discussed so in the future, it
should be possible to buy a $50 home router and hook it up to your
broadband service or get a cable/DSL modem from your provider and the
IPv6 will be routed without requiring backflips from the user.
So there is a fair chance that we'll be in good shape for IPv6
deployment before we've used up the remaining 893 million IPv4 addresses.
I think this annoys people more than anything. We're how many years into
the development and deployment cycle of IPv6? What development cycle is
expected out of these CPE devices after a spec is FINALLY published?
If the IETF is talking "future" and developers are also talking
"future", us little guys that design, build, and maintain the networks
can't really do much. I so hope that vendors get sick of it and just
make up their own proprietary methods of doing things. Let the IETF
catch up later on.
