IPv4.
IPv6 became a recognized standard by 1998.
EDIT: https://www.google.com/intl/en/ipv6/statistics.html#tab=ipv6-adoption
Nearly 30 years later, and less than half of the connections to Google are via IPv6.
Fucking NAT. Never should have been allowed to escape from the lab.
Lolol, you're not wrong. NAT made IPv6 a later problem
I ❤️ IPv4
There's no place like 127.0.0.1
There's no place like ::1
I can't understand that gibberish, speak RFC 791 like a true patriot
IPv6 is such an ugly monster.
It just isn't and I'm sick of people being scared of hexadecimals lol
You can even spell stuff with them which is way easier to remember, my router's ULA is fd13:dead:beef::1
:cafe:babe: is another common one. Or :acdc:feed: .
There was a burger joint we did IT for and we made their ULA fd14:dead:beef:cafe::1
I thought it was a bit clever
Based on how ISPs seem to not get their CGNAT setups right, it's not going away any time soon.
I'm almost at the point where all of my connections are IPv6, but still hampered by my mobile provider (ironically, since IPv6 was generally adopted earlier on mobile in many countries).
As a South African, I have never even seen IPv6. My university has two /16 blocks and no NATing
