IPv4 is a dinosaur gasping for its last breaths.
Just curious: when you expect IPv4 to be gone? (including "gone" from
home and enterprise networks)
I think it will be used for email and the web for at least ten years.
I think there will be a need to talk to legacy IPv4-only devices for about that
long, perhaps a bit longer.
But IPv4 is already difficult to use for a great many applications, and it will
only get worse with the imposition of LSN. A home network that only supports
IPv4, or which makes IPv6 as crippled as IPv4, is not a desirable goal.
