It’s probably easier to add some more addresses than to switch to IPv6 but I hope you agree that switching to IPv6 ultimately is inevitable. And then you are comparing the optional costs of adding that small number of addresses against the switch costs that you are going to incur anyway.
- yardstick 5y agoIPv6 has been around since the mid-late 90s, it’s an incredibly slow migration as a lot of things were just not thought through. Yes the switch will eventually happen, but we’re already talking decades, which is a lot of time to unlock a few IPv4 subnets while we wait.
