IPv6 woes - RFC

Mon Sep 6 16:01:05 UTC 2021

Users don't care about IP at all.

They just want to make sure that their apps keep working.

If you switch them to IPv6, and they have faster access for IPv6 enables sites and apps (40% faster time to complete HTTP get), and they don't notice that the WAN is IPv6-only, because inside the LANs they still have dual-stack, problem solved.

    You're assuming that IPv6 is required.  There is no reason do do that in
    the current Internet.  IPv6 is still optional. The number of users who
    care about IPv6 access is very close to 0 and dropping.

    And as demonstrated in this thread: Even the few who still do care are
    not willing to pay extra, or sacrifice anything, for IPv6.  They will
    run off to your competitor as soon as they discover the price is lower
    there. Which it will be since they saved a lot by building and running
    an IPv4 only access network.
