The IPv6 part that you may want universities to cover is anything 
associated with principles. -- i.e., you don't want universities to 
produce a workforce of IPv6 engineers, but rather to teach what ew got 
right and what we didn't, such that when IPv[x] needs to be engineered, 
they are able to do a good job.

In other words, you can take this as me publicly begging Radia Perlman 
to work on a revision of "Interconnections" and/or pointing folks to 
John Day's "Patterns in Network Architecture" book. :-)

Thanks,
