Plus IPv6 has significant downsides (more complex, harder to understand, more obscure failure modes, etc…), so the actual cost of moving is the transition cost

Plus IPv6 has significant downsides (more complex, harder to understand, more obscure failure modes, etc…), so the actual cost of moving is the transition cost + total downside costs + extra fears of unknown unknowns biting you in the future.
- dgoldstein0 2y agoDefinitely there are fear of unknowns to deal with. And generally some business won't want to pay the switching costs over something perceived to be working. IPv6 is simpler in a lot of ways than ipv4 - fewer headers/extensions, no support for fragmentation. What makes it more complicated? What makes the failure modes more obscure? Is it just that dual stack is more complex to operate?
- MichaelZuo 2y agoWell you can try listing the top dozen or so for both and see the difference?
