IPv6 is a 'killer' from IP Switching point of view. I was hoping IP switching
will kill ATM over a period like 10 to 15 years (like what happened to X.25),
and I prefer IP to ATM. With IPv6 I am not so sure although I still think IP
Switching will 'kill' ATM in 20 to 25 years.

IPv4 is running out of space but IPv6 is too much overhead.
You'd get a lot more usable response if you explained WHY you felt IPv6 is
too much overhead. Often, the complaint is (for example) "It takes too long
to send a packet on a modem/PPP link", but they didn't have any IPv6 header
compression enabled, or some similar problem.
In any case this would be a pretty pointless discussion in the IEPG context.
