That’s absurd…

Yes, you have to support both for now. However, you really only need IPv4 addresses on each front-end box and you only 
need that until the proportion of eyeball users that lack IPv6 capabilities is small enough to be considered no longer 
worth the cost of support.

I doubt seriously that the quantity of eyeball users you would consider cost effective to support is one. Case in 
point: Do your servers still support non-SNI compliant browsers? Do you limit your pages to compatibility with IE 
version 10?

Because we can’t only use ipv6 on the boxes, each box with ipv6 must have IPv4 until the last eyeball broadband user 
will have ipv6 support.

 It requires both sides to move to IPv6.  Why should the cost of maintaining working networks be borne alone by the 
eyeball networks?   That is what is mostly happening today with CGN.

Every server that offers services to the public should be making them available over IPv6.   Most of the CDNs 
support both transports. Why are you scared to tick the box for IPv6?  HTTPS doesn’t care which transport is used.

 I believe it’s Eyeball network’s matter to free IPv4 blocks and move to v6.

Just received a mail that RIPE is out of IPv4:

Dear colleagues,

Today, at 15:35 UTC+1 on 25 November 2019, we made our final /22 IPv4 allocation from the last remaining addresses 
in our available pool. We have now run out of IPv4 addresses.
