This is why the IETF exists, to allow vendors and engineers with field
knowledge to argue and debate until they come up with something that
most of them can agree on. IPv6 is what came out of that process.

I'm not going to say IPv6 doesn't have flaws...but it's certainly a lot
better than IPv4, and features it adds (even beyond address space
expansion) are very nice.

direct reference, because a basic search wasn't very illuminating.
