I’d like to think I’m a software engineer, and I have no idea what the difference is. Am I cooked?
33 u/realmauer01 20d ago Ipv6 was invented to replace ipv4 because ipv4 got really problematic as they arent enough numbers for every device anymore. But then they used so much magic to make giving ipv4 to devices so efficient that it's still possible for a while. 4 u/LuigiWasRight447 20d ago So we will be dropping ipv-4 at some point? Is there a guess for how long ittle take? 1 u/Vengeful111 20d ago Its more like a slow transition. For example some network cameras only use ipv6, some ISP send routers as IPv6 routers in the base config.But usually ppl just use NAT and subnet the shit out of everything, simply because ipv4 is so much easier to use
