A draft ID Simple Internet Protocol, Again on the real problems can be found at ftp://ftp.hpcl.titech.ac.jp/draft-ohta-sipa--1.txt Abstract IPv6 has failed to be deployed partly because of its complexity. IPv6 mostly is a descendant of SIP (Simple Internet Protocol) but has fatally bloated merging with other proposals and trying to make IPv6 has better functionality than IPv4, which makes IPv6 unnecessarily complex and, thus, worse than IPv4. SIPA (Simple Internet Protocol, Again) is a proposal attempting to restore simplicity to IPv6 sticking to the real world operational requirements for the IPv4 Internet to make IPv6 more acceptable to ISPs and end users.
