for most people, it is transparent and doesn't improve anything... ipv6 could be disabled on their router and everything would be the same (I actually used to disable ipv6 at router level to avoid inadvertently leaking data on ipv6)
- Dagger2 3y agoWe spent a significant amount of effort designing v6's deployment strategy to make sure this would be the case -- that it could be deployed without disrupting existing network setups. It's supposed to work like this. Don't twist that effort into a reason to not deploy v6.
