It's too late for IPv4, but maybe a strong push could get a protocol like SCTP supported on IPv6 networks?

- wtbob 10y agoIIRC IPv6 requires ICMPv6 to work. I'd be in favour of SCTP support as well; dunno how it compares to QUIC for mobile devices though.
- drdaeman 10y agoGiven that IPv6 doesn't normally use NAT (and for IPv4, it's NAT, not firewalls, is the primary source of problems why non-TCP/UDP protocols don't work in practice) it's a possibility that it would be okay. IPv6 adoption is a problem, though. I think despite all IANA efforts to push v6, we'll be stuck with IPv4 for long years.
