Just like weight loss can't be done with just diet or just exercise, promoting IPv6 isn't the only answer. We need proposals like this and we need to take on the engineering work to make class-E v4 accessible until 100% of the population has v6 connectivity.
- tie_ 5y agoSo the answer is pills that can damage your health while having no long-lasting benefit? One other hidden cost - all the body of knowledge (courses, tutorials, books, blog posts, etc) that we have accumulated over the years for IPv4 would now start being slightly incorrect and misleading. That's no longer the IPv4 that we know - it's rather something like IPv4.5. Instead of inventing new IPv4 mutations and pouring energy into getting them adopted across the Internet, causing incompatibilities and countless lost hours of debugging, adopt IPv6 instead.
- mike_d 5y agoWould you recommend any company take their website v6 only right now? What are we supposed to do until IPv6 adoption reaches 100%? Just say that only existing v4 holders can have dual stack sites?
