Results were very good, and provided enough evidence that planning for a real, permanent cutover to full &#8220;dual stack&#8221; was practical.

I will argue if you already have any logs at all, that your first step should be to build an analysis capability. This will let you begin to analyze the logs you already have, become familiar with your analysis [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thuktun.wordpress.com&amp;blog=16778847&amp;post=615&amp;subd=thuktun&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
