Super informative, love the detail in the slides!

Would be more impressed if the IPv6 plan wasn't:

  The plan consists of being dead by the time customers demand v6.

Why aren't these brave heroes of anycast leading the charge to ensure it works with a protocol suite that is now something like a decade old?

I don't expect the story to be:

  We are just as confident with this as what we've been running for years on IPV4.

But, maybe:

  Except for the bits that we rely on custom hardware for, it's looking really promising.

Getting IPv4 allocation from ARIN, even if it is conserved by anycast, isn't going to be possible forever. I've been meaning to get ahold of an ASN and a small block for just this reason.

Therefore, the techniques outlined here may not be usable to new companies or on new networks in a couple of years. Even if I can get IPv4 from my hosting provider, I need ARIN/RIPE/etc.. for anycast, afaik.

Still, great read! :)
