Ironically, at the time it was adopted, it had already been implemented in the major routers and many hosts. It was ready to go. (Of course it has been set aside since then, and we now know that it is not different enough from IP to be worth doing.) IPv6 was starting over from scratch. >2. IPv6 is Well, sort of.

No, it's a move three steps mostly back, since IPv6 is technically the wrong direction. The problem is that people assume that IETF is somehow infallible, as if they were smarter than us, so we don't question their mistakes, even if we suspect them. -- Fred Goldstein k1io fgoldstein "at" ionary.com ionary Consulting http://www.ionary.com/ +1 617 795 2701 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WISPA Wants You!
