#2I first learned ipv6 22 years ago when I did my CCNP. Since then we've been two years away from migration every year.

Close to 90% mobile phones in USA/Canada have IPv6 connectivity for about 5 years.

I’ve often wondered if ipv6s less human readable addresses is the primary cause. I dread using and interacting with ipv6, compared to ipv4. Sure ipv6 solves a lot of scaling challenges, but it is so much harder to grock at first glance.

The fundamental mistake was not making IPv6 backwards compatible with IPv4. You can't just migrate to IPv6, you need to run dual stack which means twice as much work a lot more complexity. I'm 40 and don't expect to ever be able to not need an IPv4 IP to browse the Internet.

My home ISP gives me an IPv6 address as well. Much of the internal infra that I use at work has AAAA records in our local DNS.
I feel comfortable saying IPv6 is here.

Address abbreviation helps a bunch. IPv6 (not an expert, but I’m in a class right now!) suffers from severe 2nd system syndrome: it overhauls DHCP in a totally convoluted way, overhauls so much of how the IP layer works, etc. It really is a mess.

For all of it's faults Port Address Translation (NAT) sure has a way of making the address size more manageable.

I wish Verizon would start offering IPV6 across their wireline footprint.

#10Both of my ISPs offer IPv6 gateways. I set them up and visited several IP6 websites.
I crypto exchange I use frequently, Bittrex, allows to whitelist an IP address. Since I have a static IPv4, I did so. Problem is, my request to bittrex always goes out the IP6 gateway and Bittrex does not recognize me. I had to shut down the IP6 gateway to get into the account.
