Your record has a groove. Been reading this for 15 years.
The IETF has produced multiple solutions that provide IPv4 as a service w=
ith IPv6-only to the node.=20
All of them require IPv6 nodes and/or applications to be updated to be ge=
nerally useful.
I run an IPv4-only network.
And there are IPv4 as a service access solutions for that network.
I like Brian Carpenter's pragmatism. The IPv6-only dream only exists in
the IETF ivory tower.
The Mac I'm using is running in IPv6 only mode at the moment (just
turned IPv6 off in network managment panel). I can get to the
corporate mail servers. I can get to all the corporate web sites.
Jabber works from it. I can get to the git repositories.
If my ISP would give me IPv6 I could get away without IPv4 for
almost all my work activities.
Now if Google would give their DNS servers AAAA addresses I could
get to the rest of their servers. Come on Google your 99.9% of the
way there.
Facebook is reachable.
IPv6 only is definitely achievable.
