We are way past the critical mass for IPv6, it has enough momentum to become predominant "internet" in the next decade or so. Thinking that it won't happen is pretty ludicrous at this point
- emptybottle 5y agoMy concern is that v4 may never be decommissioned. Sure, v6 could become predominant, but fundamentally there being two separate protocols running in parallel is a failed migration. On a much smaller scale it's analogous to migrating from mariadb to postgres, but the migration takes 50 years and you end up realistically maintaining both.
- teddyh 5y agoIPv4 may never be decommissioned, in the same way that unencrypted HTTP may never be decommissioned. But it can sure be completely marginalized.
