This is actually a good idea. Roll out an IPV6 only network and only pass out an IPV4 address if it's needed based on actual traffic. On Jul 13, 2015 11:27 AM, "John Levine" <johnl () iecc com> wrote:

Most applications do not turn into patents, or at least not with all of the claims included. If you look at the claims, which are what matter, this is for a rather specific hack in a broadband router which assigns a v4 address on the fly when a DNS lookup from behind the router returns a result that suggests that v4 traffic will happen, presumably by returning an A record. I can't imagine how anyone would misread this as a patent on IPv6. R's, John
