IPv6 is not all that "incompatible" with IPv4 really, it's a lot closer than CLNP and UDP. It's not that IPv6 is chasing what IPv4 already offers. A lot of the improvements to IPv4 are thanks to IPv6. The fact remains that IPv6's expanded address range will be what makes it trump IPv4 eventually. It's not GOSIP all over again. But the USG's OMB statement may not be the panacea to the fans of IPv6. -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Edward Lewis +1-571-434-5468 NeuStar If you knew what I was thinking, you'd understand what I was saying.
