While the points James make are, technically, correct, the "veryyyyy" slow adoption tells me that those are not relevant to the tipping point. The utility of IoT is going to be it. The address space requirements of IoT will necessitate it,
That is certainly a possibility, although today to the great unwashed, the IoT and IPv6 are about equally remote :-)
There are going to be other impediments, like size and power requirement of sensors and actuators, but that's another matter.
Whatever the IoT device is, is has to be just an appliance, like the fridge and the dishwasher. Buy one, have it delivered and installed, then turn on. Much more than that, e.g. just a simple thing such as configuration of a fixed IPv6 address, and it'll quickly grind to a halt. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (22.1°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - virtual servers, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
