just look at this number

how people expect something to be fixed if they don't even know what is broken

when I ask people, What is your IP number most of them didn't even know.

when you need to apply this for whole network, I doubt you can even remotely remember your IP range for your home network without taking a note.

 

Thats not quite true the last bit you mention, A home address (I assume you mean private IP) would start with FE80::1 >2>3>3 etc ... you are still correct, its hard to remember :P

IPv6 is going to be so much more complicated :( I'm really not looking forward to it...

Another sign that we need to deploy IPv6 on a larger scale sooner rather than later, but if Google's Statistics is anything to go by, it's going to take quite a while.

Yes IPv4 > IPv6 transition will not be easy and there will certainly be some growing pains, but in the longer perspective it is necessary.

I wonder though. Is it possible to run the WAN all ipv6 and have the lan ipv4? Because I really wouldn't like ipv4 on my lan...

And I wonder how long the actual switch would take, surely most of their equipment is already capable

Why have we not fully implemented IPv6 yet?

Because legacy equipment is still in use.

 

Am I justifying it? Nope. But understand that it is a HUGE undertaking.

It was those aliens in the NASA video, they only came for our rarest commodity and took all our IP's back to mars.

I for one welcome our new IPv6 overlords.

You must be stupid not to, otherwise you die when IPv4 is dead.

This is why DNS is very important with IPv6.

I was wondering that as well, but I have doubts about it. The router would have to translate everything to IPv6 everytime you need to talk outside. There would have to be an IPv4-IPv6 translation table in the router (much like the ARP table to translate MAC and IPv4) so that each frames/paquets coming from LAN and going to WAN gets put an IPv6 address instead of the IPv4. I know there's the IPv6toIPv4 but I don't know if the opposite exists.

Like other members pointed out but I also heard that IPv4 is easier to track and such.

I....don't know if that is true or not. Considering the sheer amount of addresses available for IPv6, the thought of everyone and every device having its own address, makes me think IPv6 is more trackable.

I'm not sure too but Wendell from Tek Syndicate said that on one of Tek episodes so...

ip 6 adoption is slow because every ip6 is public this means that you need to do extra work to protect your internal network that means routers need to be tighter and you need to replace all of your back end

Yeah, if a wizard like Wendell says it, I know that I've nothing to argue with. I google searched my way through my last networking class so....

Because U.S.

 

The same reason the U.S hasn't even partially implemented the metric system and is the only country that uses expressely the arbitrary mm/dd/yyyy system - because the U.S seems to be absolutely incapable of changing their standards. Why change IPv4 if it still works?

IPv6 has been ready to go for a while now. I'm not sure what they are waiting on.

I feel like it wouldnt be too hard to just add another 256 digits to IPv4 which would bring it to over a trillion IPs...

 

My ip is 199.102.3.92.17 would be much easier than fd9f:5e8b:cd7b::/48
