I think the biggest barrier to IPv6 adoption is that this is just categorically untrue and people keep insisting that it isn't, reducing the chance that I'd make conscious efforts to try to grok it.
I've had dozens of weird network issues in the last few years that have all been solved by simply turning off IPv6. From hosts taking 20 seconds to respond, to things not connecting 40% of the time, DHCP leases not working, devices not able to find the printer on the network, everything simply works better on IPv4, and I don't think it's just me. I don't think these sort of issues should be happening for a protocol that has had 30 years to mature. At a certain point we have to look and wonder if the design itself is just too complicated and contributes to its own failure to thrive, instead of blaming lazy humans.
- ectospheno 7mo agoYes, if you can’t properly setup a network now then IPv6 won’t help you. That isn’t IPv6’s fault.
- Froedlich 7mo agoSage Accounting is prone to various connectivity gollywobbles between the server and workstations. The first troubleshooting recommendation is to turn off IPv6. About 75% of that time, the problem then goes away.
- Dagger2 7mo agoIf you disable the NIC, the problem goes away 100% of the time. Don't blame v6 for problems with your network.
