Very interesting post. I never considered the fact that IPv6 was going to be more than just a bigger IPv4.

Also funny it was made in 1990 and it only recently reached 50% adoption.

Don't let the year deceive you; IPv6, while designed in the 90s, was considered launched since only 2012.

And that 50% adoption is only as high as it is because China went from almost zero in 2017 to over 80% in 2025 after they included IPv6 adoption in one of their 5-year plans
