Why not go large and deprecate all of RFC 2460? I'm not entirely joking. If the practical global MTU for IPv6 is 1280, and while the practical global MTU for IPv4 remains larger, then I would say that pretty much serves as a guarantee that the transition from IPv4 to IPv6 cannot ever be successful. It will always be the case that IPv4 is a better outer encapsulation that IPv6 for whatever overlay network succeeds as the next L3 protocol standard. -- james woodyatt <[email protected]> core os networking -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPv6 working group mailing list [email protected] Administrative Requests: https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipv6 --------------------------------------------------------------------
