Just as a sidenote:

I just had an IPv6 course last week (25/26th of November) using BSDi 4.0 boxes.
I don't know in how far they did it all themselves but the 6 people attending
the course managed, while making the boxes run and talk IPv6, to panic the
boxes quite a few times.

For the rest the set-up and configuring was a breeze just when it came to
userland tool flags it's confusing to use -ipv6 one time and -ip6 the next.
Hope this sort of thing can be avoided or standardized under FreeBSD...

Because it's a US product which was shipped to the Netherlands I had no
possibility to check the true crypto stuff... Only verification was built in.
But since security is one of the key points of the new IP stack I think this is
really a major point, at least IMHO...

I have to say that on the subject of INRIA vs KAME, the folks of KAME get my
preference if only for their level of dedication to FreeBSD. But it's the
functionality that counts. That's what's going to be the judge to the outside
world ;)
