Furthermore, IPv6 does not replace IPv4 — it supplements it. Dual-stack operation increases both complexity and cost.
I think this is the major design problem of IPv6 which makes it costly / difficult to adopt in the broad field of (internet-)networks. While the protocol designers decided in favor of many fancy new protocoll features and design, the migration pathes (not only protocol adoption to dual-stack) to the new protocol native seemed more secondary to them. If i.e. migration to the new protocol just requires some firmware update without any reconfiguration (as long no new features are to be used from it), it would be the actual standard since many years. cheers, niels. — Niels Dettenbach https://www.syndicat.com https://www.syndicat.com/pub_key.asc
