My mobile operator and my ISP at home both provide IPv6 connectivity without me asking. All I had to do was to enable IPv6 on my router.

I think this is representative of every IPv6 deployment. You get it or you don't. If it isn't available to you, asking won't make any difference.

FTR we have 6 wireline ISP here. Cable has IPv6, the 5 fiber operators do not.

It will not. People underestimate the amount of effort went into IPv6 implementations.

People have totally agreed on how IPv6 addresses are represented.

Network engineering is a profession requiring specific education. At a high level it’s not different from calculus. You learn certain things and then you learn how to apply them in the real life situations.

It’s not hard for people who get an appropriate education and put some effort into it. Your lack of education is not my ignorance.

I ran network team at an organization with hundreds of thousands hardware hosts in tens-of-megawatts large data centers, millions of VMs and containers, links between data centers, links to ISPs and IXes. We ran out of RFC1918 addresses at around 2011-2012 and went IPv6-only. IPv4 is delivered as a service to nodes requiring it via an overlay network. We intentionally simplified network design by doing so.

This is neither hard nor expensive.

This is one of the only scenarios in which it’s actually easy.

different environments. for us at this point of time it will be expensive without added benefit.
