On Thursday January 13 2022 15:57, you wrote to me:

Thanks. But you end I being right does not change the reality that the transition is not completed and that we are past the point where it can be done without becoming ugly. Some of us will have to make do without a globally routable IPv4 address before IPv6 is the dominant protocol.

As a volunteer or as a payed employee? I think it makes a difference. As a volunteer you may have more influence and more freedom to make a difference.

While you equipment may be old, I do not think it is hopeless. Even WIndows XP supports IPv6 and that IBM-1 cabling with ethernet adapter should be IP version agnostic just like any other type of network cable. .
So what is stopping you - other than a boss paying you salary - to do some updating?
MvdV>> I mentioned feste-ip.net didn't I?
AN> I didn't know that page, thanks for that info :) AN> But I'm happy that my setup is working at the moment as I've set it up
Sure. But there is a reason I took an account with them. Five years ago, I figured there was a reasonable chance that I would loose my globally routable IPv4 address. That is why I ran the DS-Lite emulation experiments. I wanted to be prepared in case my ISP converted my connection to DS-Lite. It has not happened yet. But when it happens, I will be prepaired.
AN>>> But all my (own, private) servers do have IPv6 enabled and AN>>> reachable for years now (and I also have the IPv6 T-Shirt from AN>>> he.net *g*), so at least I'm prepared :)
MvdV>> The T-shirt... I already showed you mine didn't I? How about MvdV>> showing yours? ;-)
AN> Hehe, nice try :) I guess it's looking basically the same :)
The shirt, but my guess is the bearer will look different. BTW I have to confess I am not as young as I look on that picture of mine. It is over five years old. ;-)
