That may be the answer you were offered, but the chronology of events leading to the "selection" of IPv6 is a much darker and IMO uglier affair. Ask John Currin (ARIN) for an eye-witness account. He's one of the few whose eyes were not clouded or gouged out. I'll simply say that IPNG is to IETF what the child in the streets who cried "but he has nothing on!" was to the Emperor in Hans Christian Andersen's "the Emperor's New Clothes". -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJNLHTVAAoJEDa3DI8IpP3/PSoH/1psVmWlB1sHfgKa6StaRP30 hWabcjWq1ixPlCbz7MlqVZhS1Mg67MCd4jnYxZEZ0cerbmmuJ3D3ly9fECf2jmAs aHtTEy2gTMnVLpWcHdvwpLP0R4/8loupZ5GrSPp31Faql1OFU44G6varfTPXTPM+ q/AfZI8u10XrGWZif6uzDBZxlUGiBRoH98Fdsc3u9oD2hKeEqsRo0hC/pEYzY38j XceJ5g0Elt0H520vRYxp9VPWTUOAmghf9FWoftpEnqI47EywuQbgoALtM8gRs3xL NX8qOmoFioj7GMTy4wnugX/MuMtD/w5ZQeRLrTNAmimFeRfRV2Dz5xqb8le+r3o= =/xYr -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
