That is the whole point of proposing a really SIMPLE solution to solve a real problem. > and do ISPs really have an interest in supporting individual hosts? and be > exposed to all of their peculiarities? ISPs that aren't concerned with what their customer would like to have will eventually face competition. A key point is that supporting 6a44 is very inexpensive compared to other supports they have to envisage. Yet, as Yiu says, this still depends on which hosts will support 6a44. My personal hope is that we will soon see trials, including with mobile phones. > it appears to me that we are filling in every possible square in the solution > matrix. If you believe that IPv6 deployment is rapid enough, your lack of interest is understandable, but some have a different view. > just because it is possible doesn't mean that it is useful or deployable... I never believed that!!! Yet a simple, reliable, and scalable solution is sometimes a good way to cut the gordian knot. 6rd was an example, and I personally believe that 6a44 has a great potential too.
