I’m sure we all remember Y2k
Ah, yes. As a young IT consultant wearing a suit and tie (rofl), I upgraded many bioses in many office buildings in the months leading up to it...
I’d love to see a line in the concrete of, say, January 1, 2025, whereby IPv6 will be the default.
The challenge with that is the market. Y2K was a problem that was existed. It was a brick wall that we would hit no matter what. The faulty code was released years before the date. We, IETF, or even the UN could come up with 1/1/25 as the date where we switch off IPv4, and you will still find networks that run IPv4 for the simple reason that the people who own those networks have a choice. With Y2K there was no choice. The best way to have IPv6 implemented worldwide is by having an incentive for the executives that make the decisions. From experience, as I've said on this list a few times before, I can tell you that decision makers with a limited budget that have to choose between a new revenue generating feature, or a company-wide implementation of IPv6, will choose the one that's best for their own short-term interests. On that note, I did have a perhaps silly idea: One way to create the demand could be to have browser makers add a warning to the URL bar, similar to the HTTPS warnings we see today. If a site is IPv4 only, warn that the site is using deprecated technology. Financial incentives also work. Perhaps we can convince Mr. Biden to give a .5% tax cut to corporations that fully implement v6. That will create some bonus targets. Thanks, Sabri
