If you have ever looked at (large) enterprise IPv4 networks, you know that you do not need to "suspect". It's broken beyond any imagination, usually, with lots of internal NAT44, duplicate use of RFC1918 segments ("every kubernetes cluster has the same 10.x.0.0/16 subnet, because that's how automated deploymet works - and besides, it's the only /16 available out of 10/8!"). Going from there to IPv6 would bring immense benefits in the medium to long term - but in the short term, it's "extra work!" and "nobody has time!", and also "nobody cares, these are costs that people have become used to" (and that's the worst bit of all). Gert Doering -- NetMaster -- have you enabled IPv6 on something today...? SpaceNet AG Vorstand: Sebastian v. Bomhard, Michael Emmer Joseph-Dollinger-Bogen 14 Aufsichtsratsvors.: A.
