The primary purpose of IPv6 is to bloat up network headers, because the IPv4 headers were too small to address all the endpoints. NAT64 is an intriguing solution to the problem of "I have too many customers for 10.0.0.0/8". Here's are some slides on the topic from this week's APNIC conference: https://conference.apnic.net/data/37/464xlat-apricot-2014_1393236641.pdf A kernel with disable_ipv4 would be fairly usable on such a network today, as long as you avoid AF_INET-specific apps. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
