Comment Re:And Only? (Score -1, Troll) 319

My comment is moderated redundant?

Maybe it is just me showing my age.
Back in the day, in order to be redundant, you needed to repeat, or re-iterate, in some way, something that some other person had already said.
Since no previous comment had been made on this topic, I am at a total loss trying to understand how my comment can be 'redundant'.

Sigh... I will never get used to modern times where you can be redundant before you speak.

Comment Re:Will they permit NATs? (Score 1) 173

The originating TTL of a packet is decided by the application that created it.
Since there is no mandatory original TTL, there is little use in filtering by TTL.

If some ISP decided to start filtering packets based on a low TTL, all application vendors would respond with updates that originated all packets at the maximum TTL.

Comment Re: People without dual stack (Score 1) 467

Which begs the question... how many single stack systems are left out there? Is this really an issue?

All current desktop operating systems are dual stack capable.

Most current 'big iron' routers, switches & etc are dual stack capable.

Lower level stuff like dumb switches don't give a damn.

That pretty much leaves the consumer grade DSL and Cable gateway.
Newer ones are dual stack, but most aren't.
However, given the crappy quality of these devices, they will all be doorstops within a couple of years... and replaced with dual stack gateways ( of similar crappy quality).

So should we really be worried about leaving anyone behind?
