I thought it was a flight number and we were about to be hit with months of world news headlines into the investigations of a flight that simply disappeared.

Now it's a twilight zone episode: flight AS8003 disappears over the Atlantic, simultaneously star AS8003 vanishes from the night sky, and every copy of the AS8003 assembler ceases to exist on all media.

Proof of The Simulation, and that it suffers "bit rot" too.

I work at an ISP and not a single customer has ever even mentioned IPv6. There zero demand on the residential side.

I’ve begged my isp to get on it

I just got a /32 from ARIN to start implementing it on our network but it is by no stretch of the imagination worth the effort. I will probably have at least 40 hours into testing it and no increased revenue will be realized by it. Maybe IPv6 was the the right thing to due but the practical implementation is ridiculous.

Why is IPv6 not a popular idea here?

I work at an ISP and not a single customer has ever even mentioned IPv6. There zero demand on the residential side.

My experience was that my ISP (major cell provider) silently moved everyone to IPv6, did DNS64 for most legacy stuff, and provided RFC1918 IPv4 NAT for anything else.

No customer demand was involved, I imagine.

Was it ever common to use 11/8 internally? Did people just roll dice because it wasn't being announced? The reference in the post is the first I've heard of people possibly using it.

I'm baffled too. This is why there is an RFC 1918 so everyone knows what's public and private.

I mean... yes. And then there's the real world where your parent company has bought a dozen small companies over the years who have things spread across all of the 1918 ranges and you're setting up VPNs and static NAT and RIP and IS-IS paths and... you just do something easier. It's not a _good_ idea, but it's definitely a thing that happens (fortunately, for me at least, it's been a good long time since I've had to deal with that brand of network badness).

I worked at an (residential) ISP and not a single customer has ever asked about IPv4 or IPv9 or any IPvX. They were buying 'Internet' or even 'Wi-Fi'. Now, on on the DSL reports there are plenty of questions 'When will ISP_X will support IPV6'

I get plenty of requests for static ipv4 from smb and home users.

That is one of the most disappointing aspects of ipv6. Even if you implement it perfectly you are still stuck with having to deal with ipv4 with no end in sight. Had backward compatibility been a primary goal, is there any doubt we would have made vastly more progress at this point 20+ years later?
