Re: who gets a /32 [Re: IPV6 renumbering painless?]

It seems easier to try to back-port SCTP's multihoming features to TCP somehow than to deploy an entirely new transport protocol. It's unfortunate this wasn't addressed at the time IPng was being designed.

this was tried. there was almost going to be a "TCP6" which was capable of signalling an endpoint-renumber event using in-band control messages. alas, this approach was deemed overly complex, so TCP went unchanged. -- Paul Vixie
