everyone-- IPv6 may have been born with a developmental disability, but we're not dealing with a corpse yet. The patient is still alive, getting better, and with a bit of love and proper care, might yet grow up to make better and brighter music than IPv4. Maybe I'm being overly sentimental and using anthropomorphism inappropriately here, but really folks-- isn't it a bit unseemly to be arguing over how we went so "wrong" with IPv6-- and how we could do ever so much better the *next* time we get to reinvent the Internet if we avoid all the killing mistakes we made in bringing IPv6 up-- while there are, today, more people than ever before taking what are perceived to be enormous risks actually making the v4->v6 transition start to happen? -- james woodyatt <jhw@xxxxxxxxx> member of technical staff, communications engineering _______________________________________________ Ietf mailing list Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
