Re: Blockers to IPv6 Adoption
#4I have an IPv6 internet connection but in my home network are still devices, like my TV, which do not support IPv6.
I also use some VPN tunnels, which also still rely on IPv4.

#5For me, there is just one thing that prevents me from switching completely to IPv6: Github.

#6I think the author is approaching this the wrong way, it's trivial to show the advantages listed are mostly not true. The marginal benefits are more than negated by the risks and costs of IPv6. IPv6 is not the product that needs to be sold, and deploying it usually has negative cost benefit on short term, for most businesses.
IPv6 needs to be deployed today because the internet literally cannot move forward without it. There are tens of millions of new internet users in Africa and Asia who get an inferior and more costly service for the simple reason their countries weren't around for the great IPv4 feast in the 90s. The data-centers of the world waste enormous energy and hardware for routing the more and more fragmented IPv4 space. The costs of all this, as well as renting IPv4 addresses, which have steadily rised, are passed down to the consumers.
IPv6 should be sold as a status simbol: we deploy it because we care, we are altruist industry leaders not stingy bean-counters.

#7Performance? How exactly is ipv6 more performing? It even has bigger headers.
Why would ipv6 be more reliable than ipv4? I’d say it’s the opposite: many times I’ve found websites with AAAA registers that pointed to a dead server. I mean, if you’re going to blame cgn for your problems, let’s steep to your level.
Analytics? Forensics? So you’re telling me ipv6 destroys my privacy. How is that a pro argument?

But you still have to sell it to the stingy bean counters. So until the benefits outweigh the costs, ipv4 4eva.

I'm by no means am expert in this space, but I was working on some routing issues lately and doing some speed testing with my router.
The specs on the router claimed that the highest speeds could be reached with ipv6 support because you could then avoid the overhead of nat for your ipv4 addresses. So that may be what they are referring to. Nat does create overhead.
