Thanks for confirmation on how I thought IPv6 and having to renumber on

My comments were in relation to companies. Personal/SOHO can continue to  
get PA from their SP like they are currently allocated a single /32 IPv4  
address by their ISP on the connection.

So we have move on from "we're worried about IPv6 routing table bloat" to  
"the hardware in 3-5 years time will handle it, we hope" ?

The diagram in the 2nd link looks a lot like my home network :)

Does it work yet ? Is it supported by anything ?
