See slide 33, "The Changing Internet", for the most interesting insight (IMO). It basically said that when IPv6 was developed, IPs were still pretty good identifiers (it was important everyone had their own), but that now it's not so important that everyone has their own, so there's not much incentive to change.
- simias 8y agoIsn't it a self-fulfilling prophecy though? Dynamic IPs and widespread NAT'ing made IP addresses borderline useless to identify endpoints. If everybody had a static /48 IPv6 in the 90's and early 2000's maybe things would have gone in a different direction.
