This pretty much underscores our long term need for an updated IP stack which is IPv6-aware...:

If I was going to replace the IP stack, I'd want to implement a protocol for
MPTS and then re-implement the TCP/IP apps.

The protocol would have two parts, the MPTS interface, and a ported BSD stack.
The TCP/IP apps would be a pretty straight-forward port.

All the other pieces -- network drivers and the MPTS plumbing, ought to work. I
have no idea how this would play with NetBIOS over TCP/IP -- but that's already
being replaced by SAMBA in eComStation.

What about a hardware device (new router) that at the WAN (Internet side) runs IPV6 and on our internal network (LAN) runs IPV4 ?

The problem is not in the LAN where most of us use the same 192.168.x.x IP range, rather what our one Internet facing static or changing IP address is.

I expect this would be the way envisioned for home networks. Large corporations where some Internet presence is required could use a combination of IPv6 for the parts of their network that need to be seen from Internet v2 and IPV4 for the internal network. This also adds a level of extra security.

Cheers/2
