Thus, IPv6 was mortally wounded from the beginning.
The history is vastly more complex than that. However, this particular
decision
was just about the last one the IPng directorate made before reporting back to
the IETF -- virtually everything else in the basic IPv6 design had already
been agreed-to.
I understand that, unlike 64 bit, 128 bit enables MAC based
SLAAC with full of states, which is as fatal as addresses
with 32 hexadecimal characters.
I don't think this was "the" wrong decision.
Isn't it obvious that, with a lot more than 1% penetration of the
Internet to the world today, we don't need address length much more
than 32 bits?
