I always joke with "We figured out how to move from Python 2 to 3 but we still cannot figure out how to do IPv6" :). What a catastrophic failure it has been. Should we just stop using it altogether and retire or are there people still advocating ?



IPv6 adoption is growing at 5% per year and is currently around 40% https://www.google.com/intl/en/ipv6/statistics.html

I expect as we get closer to the end we will see it pick up speed. Countries are now mandating IPv6 support as early as this month https://www.indiatimes.com/technology/news/india-sets-new-de...

Things are still moving forward, faster than ever at this point.


Yes, people are using ipv6 for real deployments. See any large scale mobile network deployment. Funny thing is most people never realize because it all just works…


What are you going to use instead? IPv4 is already bursting at the seams and starting over from scratch at this point means at least a decade before a new solution could even be considered.


You'd be surprised. A former employer is still writing new Python 2 code.
