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 still aren't using ipv6 much
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
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
That's it.
Depends, isps might just start giving you real ipv6 ips per device which aren't natting
ISPs only give you one IP address.
Their routers have natting built-in
The ones they provide to you
With ipv6 they could opt not to, there are lots of ips, that was the whole point
They *could*, but won't
Just becuase they don't need to be effecient, doesn't mean they won't be
