It is a protocol wonk holy war :-) IPv6 is "worse" OSI is "better" Using the definition from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worse_is_better
Does not matter to me because I have customers that need end-to-end connectivity to China and mobile data in the US (that is going native v6 with v4 NAT) so I'm deploying IPv6. There are certainty interesting aspects to the side Fred is on, as indicated, I believe, in this book: http://amzn.to/gHQDax. I'm still reading it so no comment there. They have interesting ideas but they would be better off building a overlay network stack ala Skype (P2P network stack, not the voip program) for app developers, IMO. The simple fact is I have customers that want IPv6 and they give me money to provide it. If someone wants to give me money to tunnel their NetBUI traffic over the internet I'll do that as well.
