   Hello Al,   
      
   On Saturday March 26 2022 02:58, you wrote to me:

   It will not be THE determining factor, and IPv4 will never completely   
   disappear just as IPX has not disapeared completely yet. But there will come a   
   time when IPv4 can no longer be used to connect systems across the Internet.   
   It takes cost and effort to support a dual stack environment and in the   
   foreseeable futute someone will come to the conclusion that the benefits of   
   maintaining IPv4 will no longer justify the cost. And that will be the start   
   of the end of IPv4. I expect to see this in the coming decade. Tough luck for   
   those that still use IPv4 only stuff. But h‚ IPv6 had been around for a while,   
   and those that have still been buying IPv4 only stuff for the last five years   
   have only themselves to blame. Forunately WinPoint now supports IPv6, so   
   Winpoint users have nothing to fear.    
      
   Cheers, Michiel
