Throw that packet at a non-v6 router and let me know what happens. v6 could have been an overlay extension to solve the address space issue without the migration complexities. We are now 26 years in and v6 has only gotten serious adoption b

I address that. Old hosts and networks only know about the first part of the address and the rest of the address resides in the data section so a new application can run on an old host even. When you cross from an old to a new network, the

ARIN recently handed out a /16 allocation to Capital One. That is one 65,025th of all of IPv6. A reasonable sized /32 allocation would have allowed for giving every ATM they operate worldwide its own globally routable /48.

Not at all. We could have taken one of the unassigned /8's at the time and allocated it to v6 transitional addressing (the failure to address 4->6 reachability is IMO why v6 failed). For the sake of this example lets use 53.0.0

The model number is very relevant because MAX9 is currently grounded. If you are trying to figure out how it impacts your upcoming travel plans (seemingly the point of the original submission) then simply looking at "MAX" is not s

Be careful that data doesn't say what you think it does. Southwest for example has the most MAX orders (being the launch partner for the airframe), but only uses MAX 8 and has only MAX 7/8 on order. They don't fly the MAX 9 a
