Then AT&T, Comcast, Cox, Level3, etc, could be reasonable examples? I think the general point is worth considering - when v4 gear is regularly being pulled out of commission by large carriers because "who needs it?" and replaced with v6 only gear, we will have achieved true ubiquity. I think you'll see v4 for quite a while. Heck, I still run across SNA, Token Ring, and other really old stuff occasionally... David Barak Sent from a mobile device, please forgive autocorrection.
