This is why the IETF exists, to allow vendors and engineers with field |
| 21 |
knowledge to argue and debate until they come up with something that |
| 22 |
most of them can agree on. IPv6 is what came out of that process. |

I'm not going to say IPv6 doesn't have flaws...but it's certainly a lot |
| 25 |
better than IPv4, and features it adds (even beyond address space |
| 26 |
expansion) are very nice. |

Tried searching for it. You're going to have to provide some useful |
| 41 |
direct reference, because a basic search wasn't very illuminating. |
