MRTG of IPv6 version

[JORDI PALET MARTINEZ]

Hi all,

I'm working in the EU IST project Euro6IX (www.Euro6IX.org), and we had very concrete plans to migrate several utilities, and this
includes MRTG, and keep this one open source in the project repository.

I can't give you more specific details about this one, as I think is expected for 2nd half of this year, but not concrete, and I
believe we depend on the MIBs, as clarified by Itojun.

By the way, we will be happy to heard about any other tools and monitoring/measurement/management tools that all of you are
interested in get ported, we will try our best !

In fact another one that we are considering seriously is Webalizer.

Regards,
Jordi
