   Hello Anna,   
      
   On Tuesday January 11 2022 10:21, you wrote to me:

   The "newer" ISP have problems, but with some old the older ISPs the bottom of   
   the IPv4 treasure hold is also in sight.

    AN> Correct.

   I do not know if that is a realistic wish.   
      
   The transition to IPv6 should have been completed 10 years ago, /before/ the   
   world ran out of IPv4 adresses. Then we would have no problems now. As it is   
   we have the situation that not everyone has IPv6 yet and there is not enough   
   IPv4 left for everyone. Lacking time machines we can not correct the mistakes   
   made in the past and so we have to live with the situation as it is. Which   
   means that some of us will have to do without a globally routable IPv4 address.   
      
   With that in mind, I did my DS-Lite emulation experiments. I am prepaired. ;-)   
      
    AN> And in my case, I don't have IPv6 at work, for example.   
      
   So tell your boss that he needs to prepair for the case that when you are   
   forced to work from home and can only be reached via IPv6.   
      
   I mentioned feste-ip.net didn't I?   
      
    AN> But all my (own, private) servers do have IPv6 enabled and reachable   
    AN> for years now (and I also have the IPv6 T-Shirt from he.net *g*), so   
    AN> at least I'm prepared :)   
      
   The T-shirt...  I already showed you mine didn't I? How about showing yours?   
   -)   
      
      
   Cheers, Michiel
