Abraham,

What you are presenting here is a solution looking for a problem. There are multiple solutions available today that do 
not require your proposed hacks to IPv4 space. If your ideas keep getting rejected by the masses, maybe you should read 
the room and lookup the phrase "resistance is futile."

That is the last of my .02c for this thread.

Ryan

Hi, Chris:

0)    Thanks for your observation.

1)    Although I specifically requested Karim to go offline on our idea to his inquiry, lots of comments appeared on 
NANOG publicly. To be polite, I tried to respond by clarifying and describing each. Unfortunately, many comments are 
actually persistent IPv6 promotions, even my attempt of bringing up the community consensus of "Dual-Stack has 
distinguished IPv6 and IPv4 into separate tracks" was in vain.

2)    Philosophically, IPv6 and IPv4 are kind of like two religions, each with its own believers. As long as the 
devotees of each focus on their respective passion, the world will be peaceful. As soon as one camp imposes its 
preference onto the other, friction starts. Unchecked, it can go even worse. ... But, I digressed.

Regards,

I am curious if anyone has ever given you positive feedback on this idea? So far
all I’ve seen is the entire community thinking it’s a bad idea. Why do you
insist this is a good solution?



Because people keep responding.
