RE: Madated adoption?



Saying Dr. Wells is rowing back is not the way I see it.  Also recall
the statements in the actual mandates is "ipv6 capable". Some programs
will move faster than others and the original memo of 2003 called for
specific areas within the DOD and to my knowledge all of those targets
are on track for IPv6 deployment and some of them as IPv6 Dominant.  

What is causing more concern is the fact that most all vendors have
shipped IPv6 and its base to the product, before anyone turns on IPv6
they must be sure about the security issues as pointed out in the GAO
report referenced in the below URL.
