[c-nsp] IPV6 in general was Re: Large networks

[Paul G. Timmins]

We've got paying customers who came to us specifically because we
support it. Our last decision for IP transport had IPv6 as a
requirement. YMMV.

I'm interested in general, how much IPV6 is actually out there?  I'm

Thank you
Scott
