Your assumption that I do not know that is flawed. I did a review of |
| 9 |
ipv6 before it was released and determined ipv4 to be superior then. |

That was before I was shown some of the bad sides more recently. |

Who's observations and who's experience. Not everyones that's for damn |

The guy who wrote most of the pf firewall that MAC OSX now uses as well |

as QNX, the latest version originating from OpenBSD and being far better |
| 27 |
than iptables has bought up lots of ipv4 just to stay away from ipvshit. |
