Tell that to management. As soon as they hear "P2P" they will decide to perpetuate the status quo that makes P2P hard, because P2P is evil and illegal in their books.
And we sit here wondering why the powers that be are not interested in faster IPv6 adoption. Few if any of the reasons we exchange on HN have any bearing outside of this bubble. A typical business in 2022 still has no incentive to embrace IPv6, facilitate P2P, or make the internet more decentralized.
- tsimionescu 5y agoHow would you facilitate P2P in an IPv6 world? Do you stop using a firewall and just let anyone open connections to your machine on any port from the internet? If not, how do you allow connections from peers but not random botnets? Not to mention, would you really use IPv6 addresses that your ISP assigns for your internal network as a business? Do you really want to re-IP everything if you find a way to switch ISPs?
