maybe you're talking to the wrong guy. i gave a lot of blood getting dren like tla, nla, ... removed. and in the final week was told by the ietf v6 wg chair that operators did not know what a logarithm was. iij deployed v6 on our backbone in 1997. oh, and i have the tee shirt and the coffee cup. and ipv6 is still a massive pain, and our bean counters, $diety bless 'em, did not like what ipv6 deployment cost us. we are all road kill (a bad pun iff you were there) randy
