I am certain it _is_ that easy, but the business case for moving to IPv6 seems to have remained stable, or maybe even slowly diminished. Despite the IPv4 pool having run out, it is not yet empty - unused IPv4 ranges are being discovered/returned etc. I'm not well-connected in the telco world, so I have no detailed knowledge, but when they're not actively pushing people to IPv6, I can only assume it means there is still sufficient IPv4 addresses.
There are other reasons to move to IPv6 beyond address space. For example, fixed length headers improve router performance. Mulitcast, instead of broadcast reduces network traffic. Smaller routing tables at the top level (you may recall the problems a few years back with this on IPv4). There are others. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
