I can buy that argument, but I cannot buy IPv6. I mean that literally, my ISP doesn't offer it. Instead I am given two ipv4 addresses, but because of NAT I only need one - which is of course a total joke.
I would love a network where there are no bridges and every mote of dust (or VM) has an ip, but if I cannot buy the addresses, what good does it do me?
- _ncxu 9y agoYou may not be able to now, but the pressure GP mentioned will also apply to ISPs, and they'll soon start seeing IPv6 as a competitive edge, or at the very least, something to not lag behind in making them lose customers. Especially if there's a "killer app" that makes the switch and ONLY uses IPv6, e.g. say, google.com.
