For MOST users IPv4 still works. Aye, problem isn't IPv6 but IPv4, which has annoying problem in that it keeps working. Should that change, IPv6 would be adopted in a hurry. I earnestly believe we should have flag day, where bigtech agrees to start dropping IPv4 in edge in like 2040-01-01 or some such. To create strong signal that we're moving on, and that IPv6 only host becomes something markets can accept. Anyone using IPv4 has to do the translation on their end, IPv6-only networks not. I don't think we will do that, but I think we should. I think IPv4 is pretty significant antitrust issue, because addresses have accumulated to legacy players and new entrants have additional hurtle to compete against them. -- ++ytti _______________________________________________ NANOG mailing list https://lists.nanog.org/archives/list/[email protected]/message/X4YDQXNL733LR4I5CPRFPDEKICFUF4FR/
