This is actually a good idea. Roll out an IPV6 only network and only pass out an IPV4 address if it's needed based on actual traffic. On Jul 13, 2015 11:27 AM, "John Levine" <johnl@iecc.com> wrote:

This is not a patent. It is a patent application. Most applications do not turn into patents, or at least not with all of the claims included.
If you look at the claims, which are what matter, this is for a rather specific hack in a broadband router which assigns a v4 address on the fly when a DNS lookup from behind the router returns a result that suggests that v4 traffic will happen, presumably by returning an A record.
I can't imagine how anyone would misread this as a patent on IPv6.
