While the implementers implement and the operators operate, the professors profess to a quickly emptying lecture hall. I have great faith that the experienced and pragmatic people who have to work with IPv6 on a daily basis will resolve things like the DHCP6/RA imbroglio. IPv6 will be much different in a few years. As a host guy in an enterprise-type organization, I'm looking forward to what you and people like you will cook up. </pep talk> Kelly ******* CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE ******* This e-mail message and all attachments transmitted with it may contain legally privileged and confidential information intended solely for the use of the addressee.
