- lmm 11y agoEventually, yeah. E.g. a lot of ISPs have shut down their Usenet servers over the last few years. But it could easily take another 20 years to reach that point.
- X-Istence 11y agoThere are already carriers that are looking at taking IPv4 in at the edges, encapsulating it in IPv6 and then decapping it before handing it off to their customer. Thereby the core network can be entirely IPv6 without any legacy IPv4.
