The definition of failure flows from the definition of the objective,
the goal, the desired outcome.
What is your understanding of those for IPv6?
My understanding of the goal of IPv6 was to replace IPv4 globally before
address shortage caused real problems. If we agree on that, we must also
agree that it has failed to do so, ergo, IPv6 as a global solution to
IPv4 address shortage has been and thus far continues to be a failure.
Now it will almost certainly eventually succeed, but that doesnt change
that for all this time, it failed and there were real consequences that
or may not carry on with us all for quite some time, and that there were
real costs involved to real people.
