that may be what it looks like from the view of an address allocator.

but if you actually have to deliver data from servers you need a path
where data from/in both protocols is supported on every link of the
chain that goes all the way to every bit of back end data in your
system.  and if one link in that chain is missing, <sound of glib idea
imploding>.
