Outdated beliefs probably. When I talk about v6 support in our b2b saas, PM laughs and says nobody uses that shit. Big tech are massive laggards on this funnily enough.
- ViscountPenguin 6mo agoIt's because big tech is USA based mostly, where there's still a glut of ipv4 available.
- FuriouslyAdrift 6mo agoIPv4 was exhausted at ARIN in 2011. Last time I bought a /24 on the open market, it was around $6k. I assume it is much more, now.
- Dylan16807 6mo agoIt's close to that right now. Prices more than doubled as covid set in, then dropped back down to about where they were before.
- paulddraper 6mo agoWhere can I get it, asking for a friend?
- 10000truths 6mo agoDefinitely not for the biggest ones. Google and Meta have so many machines in their data centers that IPv6 addressing becomes a technical necessity due to the risk of exhausting the RFC 1918 address space. Naturally, they were early adopters of IPv6.
- denkmoon 6mo agoYeah, I can't imagine managing fleets like that with only v4. Our network config is so convoluted with gateways and NATs everywhere, paying AWS through the nose for it all, when it could all be so much simpler.

Nobody except the 140M subscribers on T-Mobile US's network: * https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6oBCYHzrTA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6oBCYHzrTA But sure, be IPv4-only and add latency by forcing traffic through an extra translation box.
