One thing I like to mention when talking about the size of the v6 address space is that it is a little more technically accurate to think of it as approximately 2^64 networks, each of which can support the "appropriate" number of hosts (up to 2^64 (18Billion Billion or so, FWIW), but I am fairly confident that that will never happen :) ). I would reword "one set of zero values seperated by colons" to something like "replacing some number of sequential, all-zero 'chunks', one time per address" ... "Private Addressing" is not so much replaced with Link Locals; the closest analogy in IPv4 is APIPA ... RFC1918 == Unique Locals DHCP(v6) is not deprecated for Address Assignment, the DHC WG would blow a coronary to hear you say that! (Although client support is not currently widespread) I'd change the Windows screen-shot to not use the 6Bone address space :). Friendlier implementations of Ping/Traceroute are indeed multi-protocol ... any that aren't should catch up! Again, overall - great read ... and keep getting the word out :). /TJ Great presentation; however – couple of nits …
