# > if all you've got is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail. # # I guess the question was what is the problem IPng was supposed to solve? that depends on who you ask. the pet problem i was dealing with at the time was the necessary evil called CIDR. necessary because infinite routing table growth wasn't possible, evil because it locked customers into their providers, entrenched the existing large providers against future providers, and made it hard or impossible for the average endusing company to multihome. so, when IPv6 was chosen and was "more evil" in that way, i was mystified. it turns out that most other folks' pet problem was "not enough address space". (oops.)
