Tunneling v6 packets to a known anycast that’d bridge the networks would mean that there’d be interoperability.
With interoperability it would mean that hosting a service on a v6 only network means you wouldn’t need a v4 address (which today is a must have and expensive unlike v6 which is optional).
- ianburrell 3y agoThe IPv4 host can't tunnel IPv6 packets, it has no concept that IPv6 exists. It can only talk to IPv4. You could have some dynamic IPv4 to IPv6 service, which needs IPv4 addresses. But it is much simpler for each service to have one IPv4 address on the load balancer. Also, the real shortage with IPv4 is with devices where ISPs are using CGNAT. Server addresses are less important when can run an entire company with a handful.
