it's just a new addressing protocol that happens to not work with the rest of the internet. it's unfortunate that we made that mistake, but i guess we're stuck with that now (i wish i could say something about lessons learned but i don't think any one of us has learned a lesson yet).
Would be really interesting to know how you would propose squeezing 128 bits of address data into a 32 bit field so that we could all continue to use IPv4 with more addresses than it's has available to save having to move to this new incompatible format.
I solved that problem a few years ago (well, kinda -- only for backend logging, not for routing):

Squeezing 32 bits into 128 bits is easy. Let me know how you do with squeezing 128 bits into 32 bits...
I did just fine, thanks. (You may want to read the link again.... ;)
