"Only" doesn't just refer to the addresses, it refers to the entire protocol stack. >> If an IPv4 host would be upgraded with IPmix, there is no reason to not let >> it upgrade to IPv6 and be it a dual stack host. Problem solved. > > IPmix is not an address as IPv6 to be assigned, the host will not be upgraded > but it will be updated. An "update" that is more complex than an "upgrade" to IPv6. It requires changes to routers to handle the packets, it requires changes to hosts to handle the packets, it requires changes to routing etc etc etc. This draft doesn't help in any way, and therefore should be dropped. Cheers, Sander PS: you have tried this before, and since you don't seem to get the message let me be blunt: this whole idea is BS, you don't seem to have a clue about protocol design, implementation, interactions and deployment, so please withdraw this and stop wasting our time. PPS: sorry to the rest of the list for the bluntness _______________________________________________ Softwires mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/softwires
