There are varying opinions on whether IPv6 will turn out to be the OSI of the 90s. There are also varying opinions on whether it is desirable for IPv6 to fly or not. Some believe that for IPv6 to fly operationally, the "6+2+8" proposal needs to be adopted.

Let me put it this way -- IPv6 does not fix _any_ hard problems (routing stability, etc). It is about as useful as IPv4 with a "more address bits" option. --vadim
