BenJojo sings “I’ve got too much…time on my hands” The whole migration to IPv6 reminds me of DECnet migration to OSI…which basically never truly happened (because XNS/ITP grew up and became TCP/IP which was then extended to the edge with PPP/RAS, ending the era of store-and-forward email/usenet and destroying X.25/X.PC with its distance-based pricing, heralding the new era of free SPAM and Script Kiddies From Overseas). Same thing will happen to TCP/IP..something else will succeed it before IPv4 is obsolete, probably after somethingBad(TM) happens to create the market imperative for network operators to invest in the alternative.
