I'm sorry, what? Extending the bits in IPv4 will break compatibility completely. Everything will need upgrades just the same as to support IPv6, so you might as well go all the way at that point.
How is it much harder to work with?
- galvin 6y agoIt's a minor detail, but an IPv4 address is easier for humans to use. It's easier to read, type, remember, share over the phone or even just plan with in a spreadsheet.
- Symbiote 6y agoMy Danish phone number is 10 digits, including the +45. It would be pretty ridiculous to limit the number of phone connections in Japan by forcing them to use Danish-style 8-digit numbers, but that is the situation with IPv4.
- galvin 6y agoI'm not arguing against IPv6, just explaining how IPv4 can be easier to use.
