Mark IV systems has a spec for OTTO. Mark IV makes automatic toll collection and related systems O(Not to mention other automotive products) The system spec's show support for IPv6 and SNMPv3. Notably absent was IPv4 as far as I could tell. No notes on if the IPv6 would be used for Firmwar

So we should deploy IPv6... I get it. The argument comes up time and time again. I would do it tomorrow - nay, today - if I had an answer to one thing: How the heck do I multihome? I have v6 space from Sprint to play with, but I'm reluctant to use it because I can't multihome with it. The end us

Hi John, I am not offering an elegant technical solution that would be worthy of an RFC number! :) But I am saying that the Internet of today will evolve organically and that there are a number of ways you can get by with what we have for a long time until things get really ugly. Justin sugge

Steve - If you have a plan for continued operation of the Internet during IPv4 depletion, please write it up as an RFC. Our present Internet routing scheme is predominantly working based on hierarchical routing but I'm certain there are alternatives. /John At 5:42 PM +0100 6/28

Hi John, I wasnt specifically thinking of reclamation of space, I was noting a couple of things: - that less than 50% of the v4 space is currently routed. scarcity will presumably cause these non-routed blocks to be: :- used and routes :- reclaimed and reassigned :- sold on - that much of

Steve - For the first end site that has to connect via IPv6, it will be very bad if there is not a base of IPv6 web/email sites already in place. While there are going to efforts to recover unused IPv4 space, we're currently going through 10 to 12 blocks of /8 size annua
