Its good to know that IPv6 is finally being used along
with encryption! Albeit in outer space, maybe one day we
could all catch up with this "out of this world"
technology that people could now claim is "light years"
ahead of us.

I'm looking forward to a future where pc104/isa bus based routers figure
prominently in the ip core!
