[GLOBAL-V6] Correction, OT, but important!

["Wilfried Woeber, UniVie/ACOnet" <woeber@cc.univie.ac.at>]

  I haven't double-checked who actually submitted the folowing statement
  (Geza?)

=> 2, You might heard about big research initiatives for the introduction of IPv6
=> service. A good example is 6net.
=> 
=> 6NET will have initially its own infrastructure, and there is a good reason
=> behind: it would be too risky to use a production network.

  This is simply *wrong*!
  
  The reason for 6NET having a dedicated set of lines *initially* is
  twofold:

  - to show that a high-speed *native* v6-based network can be built, 
    used and managed with *today's* technology and products (or to find
    out what is missing), and

  - the fact that the existing core of high-speed links, owned by and
    connecting European NRENS at speeds of 2.5..10Gbit (aka GEANT), 
    can not easily (=cheaply ;-) be cut up into separate native paths
    *initially*.

  Wilfried. (for 6NET Workpackage3: Basic Network Services)
