Here's a good explanation of what went wrong:
http://cr.yp.to/djbdns/ipv6mess.html http://cr.yp.to/djbdns/ipv6mess.html
"The IPv6 designers made a fundamental conceptual mistake: they designed the IPv6 address space as an alternative to the IPv4 address space, rather than an extension to the IPv4 address space."
- xirium 18y agoI can highly recommend reading RFC1365 ( http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1365.html http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1365.html ) which defines IP extension blocks to provide huge address spaces within IPv4 while retaining full downward compatibility with legacy routers and hosts. Such extension blocks should also be compatible with NAT and jumbo frames.
