RE: US DoD and IPv6

Gentlemen:

The IPv6 deployment is what it is and nobody is to blame that it isn't greater 
or less than it is. It should not surprise anybody that IPv6 hasn't been more 
widely deployed to date, because, after all, I explained back in 1993 in RFC 
1687 why that would happen. 

Going forward, there are many business reasons why IPv6 will increasingly 
become deployed and many business reasons why IPv4 use will actually grow. 
Thus, we can be assured that the Internet will be a mixed environment for the 
next many years to come. We have many existing technologies and approaches that 
handle such mixed environments. There is no reason to be upset -- this is the 
most probable result to the IPv4 address depletion problem. No surprises here.

Best wishes,

--Eric
