Hi,

I haven't had time for a thorough review, but I think this draft is useful and should be developed further. One comment is that I think in some places it is slightly like a sales document, and any tendency of that kind should be avoided. From what I see from time to time in on-line forums such as The Register, many network practitioners remain negative about IPv6 (due to false information in many cases) and they are the likely readers of this draft if it becomes an RFC. They need technical arguments, not sales talk.

I wonder if this draft, or another document, should cover common technical misunderstandings about IPv6 (such as that it would have been so simple to just increase the size of IPv4 addresses, or not to implement automatic address configuration, etc.). These things are not really technical barriers, but they create a learning curve and *mental* barriers. IT managers will deploy IPv6 when their techies tell them it's both easy and necessary.

Regards
   Brian
