Re: IPv4 mapped address considered harmful

Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see whats so different about
using mapped IPv4 addresses on the wire, especially since your bogon
filters should already be dropping any use.

        the problem is that some protocol proposal do not consider IPv4 mapped
        address as "bogon" - they propose to actually use them in IPv6 traffic
        on wire.
