LOL! Well, Mike says “definitely at least 1993”, whereas Wikipedia itself says that Wikipedia cannot be trusted. Mike, to my knowledge, has never admitted being wrong. So I’m going with Mike :)
I think it was Al Gore who first proposed IPv6, right Mike? :)

IPv6 restores that ability and RFC-1918 is a bandaid for an obsolete protocol. So, in your mind, IPv4 was "obsolete" in 1996 -- almost three years before IPv6 was even specified? Fascinating. I could be in no way mistaken for an IPv4/NAT apologist, but that one's new on me.
ipv6 was on my radar in the early 90's. it was definitely at least 1993, maybe earlier.
