Perhaps you are too young to realize that the original IPv6 plan was not designed to be backward compatible to IPv4, and Dual-Stack was developed (through some iterations) to bridge the transition between IPv4 and IPv6? You may want to spend a few moments to read some history on this.ROFL!!! if there is anything you can do to make me that young, you could have a very lucrative career outside of the internet. hint: unfortunately i already had grey hair in the '90s and was in the room for all this, and spent a few decades managing to get some of the worst stupidities (TLA, NLA, ...) pulled out of the spec. at iij, we rolled ipv6 on the backbone in 1997. randy
OMFG, that just made my afternoon. :D :D Someone calling Randy Bush "too young". If Randy Bush is too young, the rest of us must still need our diapers changed on a regular basis. :P Matt
