> everything in v4x that happens to have the last 96 bits unset

That's pretty much identical to 6in4 and similar proposals.

The Internet really needs a variant of the "So, you have an anti spam proposal" meme that used to be popular. Yes, it kill fresh ideas in the bud sometimes, but it also helps establish a cultural baseline for what is constructive discussion.

Nobody needs to hear about the same old ideas that were subsumed by IPv6 because they required a flag day, delayed address exhaustion only about six months, or exploded routing tables to impossible sizes.

If you have new ideas, let's hear them, but the discussion around v6 has been on constant repeat since before it was finalized and that's not useful to anyone.

I feel like the greatest vindication of v6 is that I’m reading the same old arguments served over a quietly working v6 connection more often than not. While people were busy betting on the non-adoption of v6, it just happened.

I might be interpreting wrong, but doesn't IPv6 also have a "implicit bridge" for IPv4?
reply
IPv6 had an implicit bridge called 6to4 but it was phased out because it wasn't that reliable.
