I propose the Willis law (are you allowed to name a law after yourself?):
The spread and reach of TCP/IP will accelerate at a pace faster than that of the transition to IPv6 indefinitely, therefore we are saddled with IPv4 until the end of time.
- klabb3 3y agoIn fact, we know that IPv4 lives in the observable universe. You can travel at the speed of light towards IPv6, but the expansion rate of space time-itself (you can think of space-time as a series of tubes) is not limited by the speed of light. Thus, IPv6 is only theorized to exist, in order to explain other physical phenomena. Worse, even if it was proven to exist by a distant observer, there no way for them to relay that information back to us because our routers here at earth would drop the packets.
