IT and telecom tend to have an ultra conservative if it’s not broke don’t fix it attitude. It won’t get deployed until enough customers ask for it or it’s required for something important.
- izacus 5mo agoThat's because they actually get paid for providing a reliable service, not for ipv6.
- tardedmeme 5mo agoAccess to only half the internet isn't exactly a reliable service. None of china, none of africa, only half of europe, none of south america....
- zadikian 5mo agoThose are regions that have a lot of v6 support alongside v4, not v6-only.
- tardedmeme 5mo agoMost v4 support is through a gateway. You can't tell the user's IP address from the wrong side of the gateway, for example - only the gateway's address. The user isn't on v4, the gateway is.
- zadikian 5mo agoYeah, so you still reach the user, it's just probably less efficient than the all-v6 route. Edit: Oh, you mean if they want unsolicited inbound traffic? Sure, but that's only a thing for services. I mean you can have a default-allow firewall to home devices but really shouldn't.
