Most people don't care about ipv4 problems, it works. Does ipv6 solves ipv4 problems such as impossibility to extend it in backwards compatible way? Say, I want 256 bit address space... can IPv6 be extended in that way?
- kazen44 5y agoIPv6 has extension options (if that is what you are asking) by using additional headers if required. Also, forward-compatible address extension is something which is simply not possible with routing protocols in place today, and i highly doubt it will be a possibility in the near or far future considering the enroumous coordination effort required between Core players on the Default-free zone and internet at large.
