Now I know. So if a v6 carrier swallows a v4 datagram does that count as packet loss or tunneling? http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc6214/I was disappointed in this RFC -- Section 3.1 didn't include the proper discussion of the difference between African and European avian carriers, and we know what happens if that question is asked at the wrong time.--Steve Bellovin, https://www.cs.columbia.edu/~smbThat applies to swallows. I'm not sure pidgeons pose the same issue. I think in general, swallows provide poor platforms for avian transport of IP datagrams. Owen
