Why use IPv6 if you are going to hand out IPv4 addresses?
People know why. Even if a few really get 32's, it's PR. The endgame is the same.
This is a critical path item for removing the ability to have 2 party value transfers. The power at stake is incalculably valuable.
- detaro 6y agoWhat do you mean by " Even if a few really get 32's, it's PR."? The vast majority of IPv4 connections get an IPv4 IP (= a /32), CGNAT is pretty much only used by providers that don't have another choice and has various downsides for users too.
- jakeogh 6y agoObviously, it's temporary. Handing every possible IPv4 user 2^32 IPv6 addresses is a worse than pointless gesture. It's an 10^9 scale changing of the subject. IPv4 not having enough addresses is why it's valuable. It's impossible to arm band every human with 32b. EDIT: I'm comment limited for the night. @efzx: Seeing "google" in the same sentience with "does not have anything with tracking" is pretty good stuff.
