Is IPv4 deprecated already?

  Three years ago Comcast told me they would be rolling out IPv6 to my business account... I'm still waiting.

  That's different. There are ways in which ipv4 is subjectively better than ipv6, and "the catastrophe of needing more addresses" has not really panned out yet.

    > There are ways in which ipv4 is subjectively better than ipv6 Apart from human readability, how so?

      Some people like that addresses must be masqueraded behind NAT. We've solved how to do p2p through that system.

        More "solved" than solved IMO. You still need some 3rd party to make the initial connection, for example.

    The only way in which IPv4 is better than IPv6 is that many people understand one and not the other.
