Yet another victim of IPv4, and you still find countless detractors of IPv6 on every thread where it's mentioned.
- spongebobstoes 5mo agoIPv4 support is necessary, but IPv6 isn't
- whattheheckheck 5mo agoHow would ipv6 handle it
- tardedmeme 5mo agoYou just send packets to the other party's address and they send packets back to yours. Both parties know their address and you don't need a relay in the middle.
- pocksuppet 5mo agoIt's not really relevant in this case since one endpoint is a massive server farm.
- hnav 5mo agoIt is because most of their complexity is in routing packets. With IPv6 you can just have the thing handling the conversation directly addressable by the client. The last 64 bits of a v6 let you have billions of instances in a region.
- ekr____ 5mo agoThis really isn't the case, because people still have firewalls.
