Be afraid: IPv6 techies get bent out of shape.... again

Be afraid. Be very afraid, anytime a large group of IPv6 protagonists gather together in the same place. And run away.

Ellen McCarthy writes in the WashingtonPost.com:

The 500 technologists hunkered down in the Reston Hyatt this week are plotting the best way to push us onto the new Internet.

They assume everyone's heard that there's a new Internet coming. Didn't know we needed an upgrade? Yes, the one we're working on now is a bit antiquated, they say nonchalantly, and it's about time we moved to a sleeker model.


"What we've found over the last 10 years is that we need to do a number of things to improve [the Internet]," said
Rod Murchison , senior director of product management for Juniper Networks of Sunnyvale, Calif. The current Internet simply wasn't designed to handle the volume of users and devices that are tapping into it, he adds.
