From: Lixia Zhang <lixia at cs.ucla.edu> > > I agree with that statement, though how to move IPv6 deployment forward seems to me belong to discussions elsewhere. I feel that a potentially helpful discussion on this list could be a retrospective view on the whole IPv6 development process -- why didn't IPv6 get rolled out once it's done, as expected? Personally I've thought about that question. My belief system on this matter is: - We defined IPng to solve the one problem of IPv4 address depletion, effectively giving IPng no new capabilities or features over IPv4 to encourage deployment (RFC 1669) - Since the problem space for IPng is one that hasn't occurred yet, any judgement on success or failure of the protocol process is premature. - Once we see whether IPng transition is successful, I am sure that there will be abundant "lessons learned" to be considered. /John
