But that is what ipv6 delivers -- a 64 bit routing prefix. Am I to take it that a whopping 16 bytes of extra addressing information breaks the internet? And all of the second system syndrome stuff was always separable just like any other IETF protocol. you implement what is needed and ignore all of the rest -- there is no IETF police after all.Well, I see IPv6 as double failure really. First, IPv6 itself is too different from IPv4. What Internet wanted is IPv4+ (aka IPv4 with bigger address space, likely 64bit). Of course we could not extend IPv4, so having new protocol is fine. It should just fix problem (do we have other problems I am not aware of with IPv4?) of address space and thats it. Im happy with IPv4, after 30+ years of usage we pretty much fixed all problems we had.
I can understand the sound and fury when people were trying to make this work on 56kb modems, but with speeds well over 1G it seems sort of archaic.
