By whom?
Your ISP?
No, by the infrastructure companies
So then fundamental parts of the internet stop working..
Yeah, alright.
Yep
That's what they're working towads
Not happening
They can't "work towards" that
The fundamental protocols need to be changed
And they're not
They will
No they won't.
You realise how hard it was to move people from IPv4 to 6?
The fundamental protocols are less than 50 years old, they will change
What you're saying is even harder than that
They will be updated.
Sure.
Tunneling is a fundamental principle of TCP / IP
That's NOT going to change
People don't need to
They are, just without realising it
If you're using BT, chances are you have an IPv6 address
As well as an IPv4
I turn it off where I can, avoid the Internet Of Hacked Things
You'll still have the same IoT issues using IPv4 lmao
Security issues in IoT come from a fundamental lack of security in their design
IE, the traffic isn't encryted. The software is years out of date. It can't be updated.
Etc
Only way to be safe is not to use the IOT, which will become increasingly difficult unto the point at which you physically cannot
Same slippery slope as work/transactions
Not as many and 95% of them are natted so things can't route to them which vastly reduces their risk level
IoT security will improve
It already is
If we moved to the full ipv6 world that's when the shit really hits the fan
Matter of time before they make smartmeters mandatory for all new homes, and all new tenants
Ditto with smartcars
If we moved to IPv6, little would change
Except data would flow a little faster
Due to new routing protocols in IPv6
