RE: transition architecture discussion

["Bound, Jim" <Jim.Bound@hp.com>]

Do not disagree with the below it is good perspective.  But I think the
word "transition" is more prudent than "migration" in our deliberations?

Also do we want to discuss the business case and reasons for IPv6
deployment here?
