[AusNOG] /16 for sale.... well not really but why not!

[Skeeve Stevens]

I support this.  IPv6 is actually easy the simpler your network is.  Where
it gets expensive is large OSS and provisioning... but when you are small,
how hard is it to add a few things here and there.

Given most Juniper, Cisco, Brocade, Linux, vmware, even Windows does IPv6
just fine... your equipment probably can do it just fine.... and if you
can't, you probably have 5-8yo kit that you really need to be thinking
about upgrading.

We've worked with quite a few micro-small ISPs helping them get ready for
IPv6, and it really is not that different.  But the key thing is - If you
don't know what you need to know, it will always be scary...
