Re: Criteria for selecting IPv7

[Jon Crowcroft <[e-mail]>]

craig,

 io've tried applying your criteria to the current options - this is a
quick hack, and people are welcome to disagree,

one thing that is clear is you need ease of interworking as well as
ease of transition.

disclaimer - this _definitely_ reflects my biases and ignorances, just
wanted to see if it could be done a bit!
