We have reached the point where it is feasible to run all new networks on IPv6 and treat IPv4 as legacy protocol on the edges and special devices. NAT64 works well enough for most IPv4 access. IPv6 network greatly simplifies networking.
IPv4 will never go away, but will be smaller part of the Internet.
- patmorgan23 3y agoIt will probably be 20-30 years before it goes away. But I think there will be a point where service providers that drop v4 support in their networks. At that point clients that need v4 connectivity can use 4-in-6 tunneling/VPNs. It will absolutely hang around in small private networks for 50 years (there's still some token ring networks out there)
