However, it should also be noted that there are other improvements in IPv6, such as the restructuring of the protocol headers to remove (now) redundant fields, provision for the possibility of header extensions, removal of fragmentation requirements for intermediate routers, etc. Understandably, these improvements have not been as hyped up as the increase in address space; but this doesn't mean that we ought to overlook them or brush them aside.

There should be a solution which simply extends v4 address space, similar to what was used to handle IDE drives over 137 GB size (48-bit LBA addressing). The whole concept of ipv6 is flawed.
