Stephen,

That's an interesting take on the problem. As I mentioned, I run a
small multihomed network. I suspect you've visited one of my web
sites; most people have. But that's not my day job. In my day job I'm
the lead networking manager at a $400M organization whose name would
be right at home among the ones you listed.

So riddle me this: after disrespecting me on my little network, how
exactly were you planning to convince me to push IPv6 deployment on
the big one?

Of course, I'm probably unique. I'm sure none of Google's senior
network staff holds a legacy IPv4 assignment.

Regards,
Bill Herrin
