It has taken 20 years to get IPv6 adoption to where it is now. This takes amazing dedication and is a much more fundamental change. Why can't SCTP adoption be a similar long term project? A home router probably has a life span of less than a decade. So it would be realistic to get a majority adoption of SCTP within approximately 15 years if there were a bit of a push in that direction. QUIC has been in the making for 6 years now? SCTP was standardized in 2000. So we could be 6 years into this 15 year project by now instead. And that is not comsidering the time it will take to finish QUIC, build compatible implementations and deploy them.

It doesn't take any dedication at all, it only takes address exhaustion. Which is precisely why it took so long. > Why can't SCTP adoption be a similar long term project? Because there is zero incentive for Telcos. > QUIC has been in the making for 6 years now? And QUIC (the Google "prototype") has probably been successfully deployed to more devices than IPv6 by now?
