<div>In some cases, the manager doesn't care and the
engineers can go ahead and start some kind of IPv6
deployment. In my experience, the only kind of
engineers who tend to do this are IT manager types.
And in almost all cases, their 'deployments' are
never company-wide (i.e. down to the customer but
rather pieces like "get a block", "announce it",
"enable the core" and they generally stop there.</div>

Yes, I've spoken to a number of ISPs who have deployed IPv6 in the
core, and keep asking for deployment to the edge devices, and for
updates to the provisioning systems. <br>

Feels like a valid challenge to me. If you make changes to a
production edge router, and something goes wrong, you can be fired.
If you ignore what your manager tells you to work on, and work on
IPv6 instead, you can be fired. If you spend some hours working on
IPv6, and don't complete another project on time. . . you see what
I mean?<br>
<br>
No project can succeed without management support. <br>
Good managers are aware of their limited resources, including money
and hours of work, so they have to prioritize.<br>
In my experience, it's cheaper to have a two-year (or five-year !?!)
plan that is "add IPv6 whenever you touch something" rather than a
six month plan to get everything done all at once. <br>
<br>
If every manager would figure out how long they can last before
running out of IPv4 addresses, and how long before there's something
they want that requires IPv6, I would be happy.<br>
If they would figure out how long it will take them to deploy IPv6,
I would be happier.<br>
If they would figure out when they need to start before they need to
start, I would be in bliss.<br>
