I was at a network users conference in England last week
and had lunch at a table full of pharmaceutical industry
network managers, all running IP. Firstly they basically were
unaware of the IPv7 discussion. Secondly when asked what was
their single top criterion for the replacement for IP, without
any prompting or discussion, they said (all of them) "security".
I just thought you'd like to know...
