There are growing costs with IPv4:

- bombcar 5y agoBut implementing ipv6 doesn’t save you any of that cost until you can go ipv6 only. Especially if you’re a server, why care?
- MartijnBraam 5y agoIt's especially the servers that should care because they're the dependency that's needed for going ipv6-only. Getting ISPs with the times is the "short term" plan
- bombcar 5y agoBut what advantage is there for HN or Stack Exchange going IPv6 other than general goodwill? It increases logging costs and has additional requirements and they can’t sunset ipv4 anyway so they’ll have to maintain both. Perhaps if ipv6 had faster ipv6 transit-only networks there would be some desire on the server side, but transit is transit.
