   Hello, Victor!

   And original ipv6 was just a miserable philosophy, created by people with   
   limited knowledge about real life.

   NPTv6 is for prefix translation only, not for address translation.   
   It's much more lightweight and easy to implement.

   Do you have a time machine to send some ideas to ipv6 creators? :)
