What must I answer it especially that it has just said to me that all the problems relating to addressing, the routing and the quality of service are solved once for all. I would like to know your contribution so that I can answer it in a collective way.

So that's why Microsoft, Cisco, etc. are all investing in IPv6
research?  I don't see anybody jumping up and screaming for ATM to the
desktop anymore, so if I had to make an observation, I'd say that ATM is
in a lot worse trouble in the local area network than IPv6 is in the
wide area network.

With the relaese of the IPv6 service pack for NT, I think we are poised
on the brink of a Nantucket Sleight Ride we haven't seen since Ahab.
