Ted,

It’s taken a long time for nothing to happen.
Nothing has continued to happen.

There are millions of IPv6 nodes deployed.
That’s not trivial to upgrade.

No, it’s not impossible to do. All the pieces to do it have been described for years.
But just like SHIM6, ILNP, end to end IPsec, Multicast, IP Mobility, that doesn’t guarantee success.

Don’t know what kind of Herculean effort would be required. Interops and bakeoffs, IPv6 ready testing program, lots of guidance to application developers, new socket abstractions…

The other multi-homing mechanisms gives better (for some definition of) multi-homing with none of the host changes required.

Cheers,
Ole
