Your assumption that I do not know that is flawed. I did a review of ipv6 before it was released and determined ipv4 to be superior then. That was before I was shown some of the bad sides more recently. > And while we're at it, why not *totally* remake IP based on decades of > observation & experience? > Who's observations and who's experience.

The guy who wrote most of the pf firewall that MAC OSX now uses as well as QNX, the latest version originating from OpenBSD and being far better than iptables has bought up lots of ipv4 just to stay away from ipvshit. -- _______________________________________________________________________ 'Write programs that do one thing and do it well.
