How is IPv6 "so different" than IPv4 when looking at Layer 3 and above?
(Certainly ARP vs ND is different.)
- krupan 10mo agoI didn't say it was different 'when looking at layer 3 and above". I said it's different from IPv4. At the IP layer.
- Dylan16807 10mo agoAt the IP layer just being different is 90% of the trouble. Being less ambitious would have some upsides and downsides but not seriously change that.
- throw0101a 10mo ago> I said it's different from IPv4. At the IP layer. In what way? Longer addresses? In what way is it "so different" that people are unable to handle whatever differences you are referring to? We used to have IPv4, NetBEUI, AppleTalk, IPX all in regular use in the past: and that's just on Ethernet (of various flavours), never mind different Layer 2s. Have network folks become so dim over the last few years that they can't handle a different protocol now?
