But those don't have to be globally routable.
>it needs a big pile of ipv4 addresses to dynamically allocate whenever a new AAAA record comes through.
This wasn't really a problem until doh/dot became a thing.
But even nowadays doh and dot are provided by whom? By google and cloudflare who are tls-mitm'ing half of the internet anyway.
Moreover most ISPs intercept dns to display those "please enter your phone number to verify your identity" screens anyway.
>far from ideal.
No more imperfect than NAT.
Idealism is what is killing ipv6.
- Dylan16807 2y agoIf I'm going to run single stack locally I'm going to use IPv6 and a stateless converter for IPv4.
- aboardRat4 2y agoWhich means that servers have zero incentive to convert to ipv6. All this cgnat46 setup is not in the name of end users, because they will always adapt somehow, as reels have a huge force of attraction. It is to make sure that service providers can deploy ipv6-only _servers_ and not bother that 60 percent of their target audience will be unavailable. The issue with the ipv6 internet is not the end users, they are paying, so the ISPs will always adapt to their needs, or the users themselves will buy new equipment in the worst case, it's the service providers who stop being profitable by going ipv6-only.
- Dylan16807 2y agoYour idea also gives servers no incentive to convert, and if they do convert they become less reliable for anyone on IPv4.
