I was planning to have the IPv6 address as one of the data values in all cases; the beneficiary of the "cheating" would be the "naive" (in the best sense) user who does 'kstat -m ilb' instead of 'ilbadm show-statistics'; he would only see "mapped" when the string representation is too long to fit the name.
