Re: 6to4 using ::FFFF:0000:0000/96 (mail.comcast.net AAAA record weirdness)

* Rémi Després:

1. The RFC on Basic Socket Interface Extensions for IPv6 (RFC 2553)
states in its section 3.7:
<< Applications may use PF_INET6 sockets to open TCP connections to IPv4
   nodes, or send UDP packets to IPv4 nodes, by simply encoding the
   destination's IPv4 address as an IPv4-mapped IPv6 address, and
   passing that address, within a sockaddr_in6 structure, in the
   connect() or sendto() call. >>

How important is this feature in practice?  Could we deprecate it?


IMO deprecating it would be a bad step backward!
