Now try that on an ipv4-only host trying to talk to an IPv6-only address. You can’t, hence, 2 internets.
(Yes, I understand there is no other way for a larger address space to exist that doesn’t have this problem. We are in violent agreement here. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t 2 internets. Let’s call a spade a spade.)
- Dagger2 2y agoI can do it with a moral equivalent of a port forward. This situation was inevitable, but it's not like they just gave up and said "welp, guess they're separate then". We've developed basically every single method of communicating between v4 and v6 that are possible to develop. There's two address spaces, but they're linked into one Internet. (Or really, with NAT in the picture, it's millions of overlapping address spaces, but we still consider that to be one Internet.)
