Wow... There is some serious learning about the internet to be done here! When Randy was deploying IPv6 across the IIJ backbone, I was running around in kindergarten. I didn't even know what the internet was back then. Amazing what can happen in 26 years... Regards, Christopher Hawker On Sat, 13 Jan 2024 at 09:35, Abraham Y. Chen <aychen@avinta.com> wrote:

Perhaps you are too young to realize that the original IPv6 plan was not designed to be backward compatible to IPv4, and Dual-Stack was developed (through some iterations) to bridge the transition between IPv4 and IPv6? You may want to spend a few moments to read some history on this.

We don't need to extend IPv4, we need to figure out why we are in this dual-stack mess, which was never intended, and how to get out of it.
it was intended. it was the original transition plan. like many things about ipv6, it could have been a bit better thought out.
