[ipv6-wg] IPv6 only network at RIPE 68

Hi Jen, Marco and list,

I personally think that at event like the RIPE meeting we should
actually be one of the first to do that due to the amount of experience
and of people interested in the outcome around.  We'll still need the
vintage stuff around as a fallback (unless I finally get around to mod
my ancient Galaxy Tab 10.1), but if the NOC crowd can actually handle
this, what I'd like to see are three classes of networks/SSIDs/whatever:

  0) IPv4 only (for disciplinary purposes:-)
  1) IPv4+IPv6 dual stacked "vintage" network
  2) IPv6+NAT64 "default" network
  3) IPv6-only "see what already works" network

Question is: With all the stress involved running a conference network,
can the NOC handle that, and how can we help them if they are actually
willing to try?

3a) and start calling the vintage stuff "dead and smelling":-)

or "this is the last warning":-)

SCNR

OK, more seriously: Actually calling things by some name *is* important,
so this is only half funny and half serious.
