What does SRV records have to do with the IPv4 shortage? Do you mean we should replace A&AAAA records with a IP-port combination?

- namibj 5y agoWell, that's what SRV records do, so I assume it's what parent meant.
- maccolgan 5y agoAt that point how is IPv4+Port any different from IPv6?
- namibj 5y agoDoesn't need new routers, just new endpoint software.
- exabrial 5y agoIt presents a 48bit address space for services, which is ultimately what everyone care about. Having the "service location" protocol be part of the transport OSI Layer in TCP was a design flaw IMO. That should have been handled higher in the stack.
