Hi, This is an interesting draft, but I must say I have serious doubts about the IETF working on any significant update to IPv4 at the IP header level, or of any such updates ever making it into the operational network.
This is something that worries me, in that the IETF seems to be deserting the IPv4 market sector before it is clear that the market is fully committed to an IPv6 only world.
Certainly a lot of enterprise networks and SP cores are still IPv4 only with no apparent intention to shift in the near future.
Markets and standards, like nature, abhor a vacuum, and if we do not continue to serve the IPv4 needs some other (quasi) SDO will appear in support of users with requirements and vendors that never leave money on the table.
