Which is a perfect incentive for incumbent ISPs to delay and stall IPv6 rollout as much as possible to ruin the day of any would-be competitor.
- gruez 2y agoIt really isn't. As the parent commenter mentioned, most of the ipv4 traffic comes from non-ISPs, which makes sense given that basically nobody uses p2p given how much of a pain NAT traversal is. Maybe there's a point that ISPs are the last holdouts, we're nowhere close to that yet.
- kalleboo 2y agoAlthough some of the earlier adopters of IPv6 are the biggest ISPs, as their networks are so big that IPv6 actually simplifies their network management. In the US, Comcast was an early adopter and globally the mobile networks have been as well.
