IPv4 is not sustainable, we're already running out of IPv4 addresses.
Unfortunately, some ISPs only provide IPv4 support, so (almost) all websites have to support IPv4. And as all websites support IPv4 there is no insentive for ISPs to add IPv6 support. Repeat ad infinitum.
- mac01021 8y agoI would pay an extra $X per month for a handful of public, statically allocated ip addresses for the boxes in my house. Ipv6 would make that easy for my isp, but they're still never going to do it.
- vegardx 8y agoYou can always get a tunnel from one of the many tunnel brokers. Some are even free. I've used he.net back in the days before my ISP had native IPv6 support.
- aaronmdjones 8y agoI'm still using my HE.net tunnel, and have been using it for more than 4 years. My ISP started BGP-advertising 2 IPv6 /32s 2 years ago... still no news. I fully expect that when they do deploy IPv6 to their customers (at this rate, it will be some time in the 2030s) that they'll only give you a single /64; they're that annoying. Very excellent tunnel service too. I'm pretty sure it's gone down less than 8 times in that interval.
