  • we did a few tricks to get more use out of ipv4 address. take 192.168.100.1 that is a private ipv4 address it can not connect directly to the internet. Most home routers will have a single public ipv4 address and assign some private address to each device connected to it. So now each home can have 1 device with 192.168.100.1. This means we kept using ipv4 for a long time after ipv6 came out.

    Second updating all the old routers and switches. At this point in time it is unlikely you will find a router in the wild that can’t use ipv6. Someone let me know the last time you found a device on some job site. But it took a while to get there because its expensive to replace them and no one was going to cough the massive amount of money to get it done in just a year or two.

    Here is a full ipv6 address 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334, yes it can be shortened to 2001:db8:85a3::8a2e:370:7334. That’s still a pain to type out and yes it did make a mistake just typing that one address. It is just more error prone to write and type out ipv6 addresses.










  • Well companies use not for relibibut to outsource responsibility. Even a medium sized company treated Windows like a subscription for many many years. People have been emailing files to themself since the start of email.

    For companies moving everything to msa or aws just was the next step and didn’t change day to operations
