Steve,
Who imposed the deadlines ? Under what authority ?
Who told you that "time is running out" ? Where is the rationale
for such a statement ?
There is no reason to introduce panic mode into the Internet.
The community endorsed CIDR as an immediate solution to the routing
table explosion problem. That significantly relieves the
pressure on the urgency of IPv7. Given the number of proposals
on the table, given that we are not even close to rough
consensus, and given lack of *any* large scale operational
experience, an assumption that in a few months the IETF will
decide on what should be IPv7 is at best misleading, and at
worst dangerous to the Internet community at large.
Yakov.
