because it is based on hardware

practically all IPv6 deployments are dual-stack it's not very noticable when IPv6 is misconfigured because practically all software silently falls back to IPv4.

IPv6 transition

Due to the lack of real lasting benefit
ISP Column - October 2024
I wrote an article in May 2022, asking “Are we there yet?” about the transition to IPv6. At the time I concluded the article on an optimistic note, observing that we may not be ending the transition just yet, but we are closing in. I thought at the time that we won’t reach the end of this transition to IPv6 with a bang, but with a whimper. A couple of years later, I’d like to revise these conclusions with some different thoughts about where we are heading and why.

On February 1st 2024, AWS will start charging for IPv4 addresses. This is a big deal for the internet, and we're here to help you prepare.

Going IPv6 only
Since we're slowly coming up to 25 years of having IPv6, but still not actually having IPv6, I tried making a seperate local network that only has v6 access. In theory quite a few of the popular internet services should have IPv6 connectivity working.

How much longer is this transition to IPv6 going to take and does it even matter?
