Actually that's in the pipeline for what we want to do. There are large segments of our network that I could comfortably run V6 only on *IF* I had an ability to do Martini PW over v6, but sadly, since Martini PW still requires LDP in most vendor implementations, this is not possible yet. I believe that LDPv6 is on the Juniper and Cisco roadmaps for 2015 (though I am open to correction on this), and if that happens, I can tell you right now, that for at least 1500 devices I can think of off the top of my head, v4 will be a thing of the past.<br>

</span><span class="im HOEnZb"> Well, technically, no one's moved to IPv6 yet. They've<br>
*added* IPv6, but I don't know of anyone off v4 yet :)<br>
