Its good to know that IPv6 is finally being used along with encryption! Albeit in outer space, maybe one day we could all catch up with this "out of this world" technology that people could now claim is "light years" ahead of us.
I'm looking forward to a future where pc104/isa bus based routers figure prominently in the ip core!
