That's my point; why is it still difficult? What exactly are the pain points for a fully commercialized native IPV6-only business, and why do we think it will be easier to maintain the status quo?
- tormeh 9mo agoMany wired networks are IPv4-only, so you've excluded a bunch of consumers. It'd be like not supporting the Edge browser.
- patmorgan23 9mo agoThere are still lots of customers with IPv6, if you go completely and totally v6 only then you limit your potential customer base. Now going v6 internally with a dual stack edge makes sense, Meta has done this.
