Out of curiosity, what do people dislike about IPv6? I know next to nothing about networking, but it all I've observed from people against IPv6 is that it looks weird. It's downfall seems to be that we're so embedded into IPv4.
So ignoring IPv4, what is the problem with IPv6?
I was hoping we were still slowly making the switch. In the same way that the modern web took ages, but eventually adapted to update browsers more than once a decade and now it's reasonable to use modern JS features. I didn't give up hope on the "modern" web features.. should I give up hope on IPv6?
- pjc50 9y agoIt's above most people's memorisation threshold, more than just looking weird. But the real limitation seems to be that nobody wants to make a change which has no benefit for them - and so long as you can still access all you need, there's no benefit to switching over to IPv4. And ISPs are holding us up too.
