Hello Michiel,
VC>> The only reason for creating IPv6 was the concern that the number of

MvdV> IPv4/ has/ run out 10 years ago.
There are 8 billion souls on this planet. While it is true some
countries have declining populations, most continue to grow. Some
at a very rapid rate.
Without IPV6, the use of technology would be much more limited than
what it should be. It does not take a rocket scientist to figure that
out.
And yet, there are some holdouts in Fidonet who insist there is no
need (or want) for improvement. Kind of like the folks who insisted
riding a horse was better than driving a car.
VC>> So far this seems not to be valid although at some point it may well

VC>> In the UK as far as I know, no ISP is using IPv6 and will not provide

MvdV> That assesment does not match the facts as I know them. The UK is #20 on
the
MvdV> list of Google IPv6 Country Rank.
MvdV> https://www.aelius.com/njh/google-ipv6/
MvdV> Not a promiminent place, but still 45% IPv6 adoption.
As time goes on, the numbers will increase. And then it will begin
to steamroll. And IPV4 will become all but forgotten.
[..]
VC>> I have not found a reason at this time to consider any such processing
VC>> as the ISP's do not.
MvdV> Wrong starting point. ISPs in the UK /do/ support it.
ISPs in the USA /do/ support it.
For Life,
Lee
