You have withdrawn your I-D (see https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-omar-ipv10/).

Yes, it has always existed. It was obvious to me back when I got my first addresses in 1988. 4 billion address was not enough for a global network everyone on the planet is using even at that stage. The IETF came up with a replacement network version called IPv6 around 1995. This has continued to be deployed since then and carries ~40% of the global internet traffic. This percentage continues to grow. Almost all internet capable devices support IPv6. Lots of networks are now IPv6-only except at the edges. If you want to do something, talk to your bosses. Get them to turn on IPv6 so that there is one less destination that requires work arounds to reach. This is not a technical problem at this stage. This is a people problem. The hardware supports IPv6. It just needs to be turned on. % dig aaaa dell.com ;; BADCOOKIE, retrying. ; <<>> DiG 9.19.20-dev <<>> aaaa dell.com ;; global options: +cmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 11993 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 1, ADDITIONAL: 1 ;; OPT PSEUDOSECTION: ; EDNS: version: 0, flags:; udp: 1232 ; COOKIE: b5e4bdac7b76f6ae0100000065b068a3f27f18e3ab20d7b6 (good) ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;dell.com.
