Ah, the IP packet format - hadn't considered that aspect, cheers. As you say - wouldn't make sense.

- pyre 16y agoNot just the IP packet format. Most software ends up storing IPv4 ip addresses in a 32-bit integer (because it fits exactly). All of those pieces of software would need to be updated to work with IPv4's 'new ocetet' as well. As the other poster stated. If everything needs to be upgraded, then might as well do it right the first time.
