https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=198092 --- Comment #5 from Mark Felder <feld@FreeBSD.org> --- (In reply to John Baldwin from comment #4) I believe the decision to be non-conforming was intentional due to security issues that RFC presents. The internet seems torn about whether or not V4 mapped V6 addresses should have ever been created because it allows some nasty backdoors if your firewalls don't cover this scenario. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
