I agree with this. Something breaking in IPv4 does not mean it should break in IPv6. My reading of our charter is that we must not break IPv4 in order to get IPv6 to work, but that doesn't mean that IPv6 goodness can't be a superset of IPv4 goodness.
If we want to address the consumer expectations about ease of use yet deliver more capable home networks, then I think we need to be aware of the total complexity of the home network.
A network where both IPv4 and IPv6 are used, yet the topology for the inside the home is different, significantly increases the complexity.
The service call will be something like "the internet is working fine, but the printer is broken" when the laptop uses dual-stack but the printer is IPv4 only.
I uniformity (within the home) is better if we care about complexity. Regards, Erik _______________________________________________ homenet mailing list homenet@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/homenet
