Why the Journey To IPv6 Is Still the Road Less Traveled
alphadogg writes The writing's on the wall about the short supply of IPv4 addresses, and IPv6 has been around since 1999. Then why does the new protocol still make up just a fraction of the Internet? Though IPv6 is finished technology that works, rolling it out may be either a simple process or a complicated and risky one, depending on what role you play on the Internet. And the rewards for doing so aren't always obvious. For one thing, making your site or service available via IPv6 only helps the relatively small number of users who are already set up with the protocol, creating a nagging chicken-and-egg problem.
facebook maybe. If google goes ipv6 nobody will be able to find instructions...
Simple nmap scan? Yeah.
If they can scan 10,000 addresses a second they should be able to scan your home address space in not much under a million years.
Assuming you didn't do something radical, like, maybe, used a firewall.
Ignorance killed the cat. Curiosity was framed.
I would switch, but then I'd have to rewrite my hosts files.
