Re: How to force rapid ipv6 adoption

For ISPs that already exist, what benefit do they get from
providing/allowing IPv6 transit to their customers?

Keep in mind that the net is now basically another broadcast medium.

I think more focus needs to be for carriers to deliver dual stack to their
customers door step, whether they demand/use it or not. Small ISPs are
probably in the best position to do this and will help push the big boys
along with time. If we follow the network effect (reason why IPv4 lives and
IPv6 is slowly growing), IPv6 needs more nodes, all other efforts are
meaningless if they do not result in more users having IPv6 delivered to
their door.

I think people get too lost in the weeds when they start focusing on
device support, home router support, user knowledge, etc. Just get it
working to the people and we can figure out the rest later.

Additionally it is now a OLD addressing protocol.  We are about to see

have been universally available when they were born but it was available.
There are definitely school leavers that have never lived in a world where
IPv6 did not exist.  My daughter will be one of them next year when she
finishes year 12.  IPv6 is 7 months older than she is.

Some of us have been running IPv6 in production for over a decade now and
developing products that support IPv6 even longer.

We have had 17 years to build up a universal IPv6 network.  It should have
been done by now.
