Little Interest In Next-Gen Internet

Posted by Zonk on from the in-my-day-we-used-version-4-and-we-liked-it dept.

Ant wrote in to mention a Computerworld article that is reporting on the slow acceptance of the IPv6 version of the internet. From the article: "Information Technology (IT) decision-makers, in U.S. businesses and government agencies, want better Internet security and easier network management. However, few see the next-generation Internet Protocol called IPv6 as helping them achieve their goals, according to a survey released Tuesday by Juniper Networks Inc."

  1. Give me an easy upgrade path by A+nonymous+Coward · · Score: 0, Troll

    It's not backwards compatible. I can't run old IPv4 on the same net, it's one or the other. Don't tell me to run multiple NICs, that's not practical.

    In short, there's no easy way to upgrade, to try it out, to upgrade slowly and practically.

    Instead of separating addresses with :, why not just use the good old .?

    IPV6 adressess just looks ugly.
