being a newbie here can you please explain briefly why, as of today , these people really need IPv4 addresses ?
I'd be tempted to answer, except that you sent this email from an ipv4 address. So, please deconfigure all IPv4 addresses from your computer, re-send the email, and then I'll answer.
From where I stand (at home in Cameroon, Central Africa), My ISP has /32 on v6 since 2013 but nothing deployed. Why ? I suspect ignorance and no incentive. I use to poke some friends working in telco fields; they say they are some work in the background :)
From where I work, I did my best to deploy IPv6 in our networks [1] [2] Our ISP here has its v6 prefix since ... 11 years. We are its first customer requesting v6 and they deploy it for us.
I keep pushing in my area but as you may guess, it's the most difficult one but I succeed at least in my organisation. So again, why do they rely on v4 (only) ? I really want to understand hurdles on european continent. I hope this time, it will be clearer :) 1. https://nda.manbene.net/index.php/s/JJPCt8OVzoxNXCv (english) 2. https://nda.manbene.net/index.php/s/j5himX7Bfjk7OaV (french)
Or at least why they cannot start a transition process towards IPv6?
Without ipv4 addresses, transition technologies don't work.
Assuming those who request v4 addresses have a transition plan (what I deeply hope ... ) P.S : This time I use my v6 smtp server even though at home I cannot still use a v6 prefix ;)
