I am referring to the fase that        MvdV> "everyone" already has IPv6 but IPv4 is not switched off yet.

So we can not switch off IPv4 yet..."              If that is going to be the determining factor, I suspect it will be decades       before it happens. There are hundreds of thousands of security systems,       thermostats, ATMs, POS systems, refrigerators, TVs, vending machines, etc.       that currently populate the IPV4 space, and will likely last for quite some       time. A push to force all of those users to upgrade their device for no       benefit to them will meet a lot of resistance.              --- WinPoint 400.2        * Origin: What's the Point (1:229/426.27)       SEEN-BY: 15/0 106/201 129/331 153/7715 218/700 229/110 317 426 428       SEEN-BY: 229/664 700 266/512 282/1038 292/854 301/1 317/3 320/219       SEEN-BY: 396/45 460/58 712/848       PATH: 229/426           |
