Only the high bit > of the IPv4 version field (ip->ip_v) is used for version. But 4 = 0100, 6 = 0110, 8 = 1000, etc. I'm not sure if you're aware of this, but there is an IPv6 being developed by a large number of people. Hmmm. I'm *very* concerned that you're doing this. Have you submitted any documentation on this to the IETF ? Protocol numbers aren't there to be chosen lightly, they should be registered with the IANA first, before use.
