[6bone] pTLA request by Euro6IX project for exchangeexperimentation - review closes 3 Sep 2002

[Joao Luis Silva Damas]

I see,
  in that case I guess we better start creating the 4Bone, for newvie 
ISPs in IPv4 and people developing new applications  that benefit 
from IPv4 transport.

Come on, these two cases were OK up to the point where people could 
not get any other type of IPv6 addresses but now they are just normal 
businness.

Only case A really merits 6Bone addresses, because items in that 
category would have the potential to disrupt an operating Internet 
using IPv6 in some of its areas.

I hope this group will be able to move on and take the step of 
declaring IPv6 usable.
