John, My point was not to argue the issue. My point was that the IT manager has an ease of use with NATs that is a two stage process at least with IANA. And that is not mentioning the routing requirements. If I were being paid on getting the end users up, the value of going to IPv6 would seem pretty weak. So to combat this the value has to be more fully explained. Kind Regards, Carl > Carl Ford wrote: > > One aspect of this to be discussed is the ease of use of getting the IP > > addresses.
