Re: [arch-d] ipv4 and ipv6 Coexistence.

[[e-mail]]

 Imho, ipv6 is just like ipv4. It does not dispatch the old errors:
Unicast, multicast,anycast are different services and needs to be addressed by differentiating service bits in the header – and not by different address ranges! Also: Traffic congestion is a problem inmidst the network and needs to be solved by partial detouring. More than a decade ago, I elaborated algorithm+protocol how to utilize ALL adjacent links for forwarding:  to ALL those neighbor-s(!) closer  to the destination,  to equally-distant neighbors,  to 1-hop-more-remote neighbors and for the worst case by means of 2 encapsulations to a far more distant(also relatively to the destination) intermediate node, followed to  some remote but closer-to-the-destination intermediate node. Included IP header info hereby would haved avoided any endless looping.  That was for OSPF networks. With respect to interdomain, I elaborated TARA whose concept is well-known because applied by Google-map-routing: All nodes participate to enable the view of several zooming levels with accordingly skimmed topologies. The next-hop was looked-up from 1, respective 3 offset-tables rather than by binary search from a 850 000 entries-sized BGP table.

Invain. So I still think IPv6 will never fly.

I'm not at all sure we intended to be disruptive. In fact, the word
"coexistence" was there from before the start (I put it there, in
RFC1671) and to a considerable extent the IPv6 design tried to adopt
current best practice and was in fact a very conservative design; some
said it was too conservative.

As you can easily see, my foresight in that RFC was far from perfect
but the emphasis on coexistence and interworking was something that
every operator required from the start. If not, we wouldn't have got very
far.
