I always joke with "We figured out how to move from Python 2 to 3 but we still cannot figure out how to do IPv6" :). What a catastrophic failure it has been. Should we just stop using it altogether and retire or are there people still advocating ?
- ipython 4y agoYes, people are using ipv6 for real deployments. See any large scale mobile network deployment. Funny thing is most people never realize because it all just works…
- Gigachad 4y agoIPv6 adoption is growing at 5% per year and is currently around 40% https://www.google.com/intl/en/ipv6/statistics.html https://www.google.com/intl/en/ipv6/statistics.html I expect as we get closer to the end we will see it pick up speed. Countries are now mandating IPv6 support as early as this month https://www.indiatimes.com/technology/news/india-sets-new-deadline-for-upgrading-internet-protocol-to-ipv6-heres-why-it-matters-553484.html https://www.indiatimes.com/technology/news/india-sets-new-de... Things are still moving forward, faster than ever at this point.
- icedchai 4y agoYou'd be surprised. A former employer is still writing new Python 2 code.
- jandrese 4y agoWhat are you going to use instead? IPv4 is already bursting at the seams and starting over from scratch at this point means at least a decade before a new solution could even be considered.
