re: IP v6 I think I've read that Stanford University clause in the story, in different accounts, about four times now. It must be a library item in the pro-v6 camp. Cisco announced similar initiatives about two months ago, citing partners and rolled-up incentives in their IOS software. This must be the same thing. I think it was posted here. Let me see if I can find it. Here we go: Message 15801406

Hi, ftth - Interesting confluence of subjects here - IPv6 and hub-and-spoke. A while back I asked: "Will this step, eventually, not be helpful in addressing QoS and latency issues?" Message 15800600 The reason behind the question was the issue of latency in the internet cloud, and its applicability to the future of VOIP. I started a little survey, operating on the assumption that an acceptable latency for telephony is 80 ms. As I recall, the latency figure I got for the UUnet transatlantic hop was 99 ms. Going further, toatalling aggregate latencies for a call from Sweden to LA, I started getting potential latencies of more than 800 ms - obviously, not auguring well for the use of voice over the internet. Hub-and-spoke was responsible for a lot of the cumulative latency. The conclusion, (not the conclusion of an informed person >g<), was that the best possible latency figures used satellites, for the near-term. Will IPv6 do anything to address this problem?
