Re: Fwd: [Full-disclosure] IPv6 security myths

Hi, Masataka,

In the interest of fair and balanced discussion.

It is of course that, merely because IPv6 makes IPsec mandatory,
IPv6 can not be more secure than IPv4.

That was indeed the point of that slide. -- that aside, IPsec is a
"SHOULD" (rather than a "MUST") in the latest node-reqs-bis document

[....]
For the end to end security, only the end systems requiring the
security are required to deploy mechanisms for the security,
which means it is not necessary to mandate all the end systems
deploy some security protocol.

Sorry, I couldn't parse this paragraph. Could you clarify this one?

Thanks!

Kind regards,
