Jeremy, I have not heard of any IP stack that is built to accept 240/4. Neither Linux 2.6.37 nor Windows 7 accepts it, and let's not think about all routers, including CPE:s, out there. The logic goes: You are many orders of magnitudes more likely to get v6 off the ground, than 240/4 or 224/4 as

Not to mention the software updates required to make it functional would exceed the software updates necessary for IPv6 _AND_ it has no lasting future. Part one of that statement goes for v6 in a lot of places. The whole NAT444 allocation argument would go away with this. Maybe we need both.
