[c-nsp] Recommended IPv6 Resources

[Steve McCrory]

Gert, 

Not at all, I took it in the nature it was intended :o)

I appreciate this list doesn't look favourably on the 'I can't figure
this out and can't be bothered looking for myself, please do it for me'
type of posts but that's not what I'm looking for here.

I'm more than prepared to hunt for resources and have a play with IPv6
for myself, I just wanted a pointer in the direction of good,
informative, up-to-date material. 

Cheers

Steven

This might have been a bit too terse, though :-) - what I was trying to
say: IPv6 is not *that* different from IPv4.  It has longer addresses,
the addresses are written in a weird way, and people have all of a
sudden started to waste addresses like crazy ("because we can!") - but
the underlying principles of BGP, OSPF, RIP, "longest-match-wins", etc.
are basically still the same.  So just go and experiment :-)
