There absolutely are annoyences IPv6 get rid of, that are much embedded in IT culture we only see them if we look.
Port forwarding, external/internal address split, split horizon DNS, SNI proxies, NAT, hairpin routing - some of the hacks made mostly because of shortage in IP space.
- boredatoms 11mo agoThe internal/external address split problem only goes away if you have a provider independent prefix, thats not in reach for many due to cost Using both GUA/ULA together solves enough to get by, but its not ideal
- bongodongobob 11mo agoThat's kind of my point. In 20 years of managing networks and infra, none of those things have ever been painful or cost me more than a few minutes a year. That's just not enough to convince me I have any reason to switch over.
