IPv6

If ipv6 provided full backwards compatibility with ipv4, it would be a
solution.

Any organisation which is forced into providing ipv4 connectivity using
an ipv6 transition mechanism will operate at a competitive disadvantage
to an organisation which can provide native ipv4.  This isn't a swipe at
ipv6: it's simply an observation that we have come to depend on features
of ipv4 which cannot be fully replicated using ipv6 transition mechanisms.

This is why I referred to migrating to ipv6 as a compromise.  Long term,
it may be a good compromise and many years down the road, it may even be
better than ipv4.  But as long as there are ipv4 addresses available, it
is condemned to being second best by the legacy of the existing
single-stacked ipv4 install base.

IPv6 is the solution provided to us by IETF to grow the internet.
I saw many limitations of IPv4 were exceeded by technology solutions p2p, nat etc.
it can happen for IPv6 too, some breaking technology can speed up the adoption
and maybe new ideas can overcome use difficulties or limitations

every policy that makes IPv6 adoption a must can help slow down IPv4
allocation rate and in the meanwhile will even lower IPv4 maket value
[...]

I don't believe there is any evidence to support either of these statements.

I just saw very to low interest in IPv6 around policies and this make me have a bad feeling, that's it.


Also, please bear in mind that if strong policies caused better adoption
of new protocols, we would be having this discussion using X.400.
