- epolanski 3y agoI understand that they are limited, but that doesn't explain why are they sought after? Essentially, how are they better than IPv6 addresses?
- Macha 3y agoOnly approximately 45% of clients support IPv6. Clients that don't support IPv6 can't talk to IPv6 servers. Depending on your target market, that might be as high as 70% (India, France) or as low as 0.2% (several african countries). Today most of these devices will have some form of IPv4 connectivity, though it's often through NAT, which is slower and problematic for P2P like games. https://www.google.com/intl/en/ipv6/statistics.html#tab=per-country-ipv6-adoption https://www.google.com/intl/en/ipv6/statistics.html#tab=per-...
