Well, as this post discusses, the end devices don’t need IPv4 to talk to IPv4-only services.
- superkuh 3y agoYou do though. It's only consuming generic content from generic websites that works with ipv6 cnat. Try to actually participate in the 'net (ie, host a video game server, do some peer to peer task, port scan to explore, etc) and you find out very fast you have no ports and can't do anything. "End devices" are not mindless consumers of content like this very naming and article suggest. They are participants in the internet, if you let them. It's a shame kids are growing up today without being able to participate. Most are going to be intellectually stunted by it.
- mcpherrinm 3y agoThere’s not enough v4 addresses to go around, so if you want to “participate in the net”, then the approach of assigning public IPv6 addresses to end devices is better, not somehow worse.
