... I guess this "war" is why some people want to make ipv6 as much like ipv4 as possible? Only . vs : and hex vs pure number as the only difference? ------- Roger Jørgensen rogerj@gmail.com On Sat, Oct 5, 2019, 21:44 Michel Py <michel@arneill-py.sacramento.ca.us> wrote:

It is war, but I don't think it is a matter of culture. After all, 20 years ago we almost all were in the same boat, more or less. Most of us believed that IPv6 could replace IPv4 in a reasonable number of years, and all of us were wrong, because it did not.
It have become a war because of money, and the outcome will be decided by money, not by ideals. There are people who have admitted that, and people who have not and keep waging the war as they could still win it.
Time to be nice has come, and gone. The IPv6 camp has clearly stated that their goal is to win the war. Battle time.
