The risk of not having IPv6 is too high. It will take only one major carrier or service to say "IPv4 ends on April 25th 2027. IPv4 addresses are too expensive to support new businesses so we're making the change to support new businesses because we love you." and then stand their ground on discontinuation of IPv4. Only one single Carrier. Only one Government. Only one Company. Ex: Alphabet, The Walt Disney Company, Amazon, Microsoft, Netflix, Oracle, SalesForce, Iberdrola, DBS, Visa, Mastercard, American Express. You won't do it right? Because you make money from IPv4 functions... Think you're too small to change it? Think about a Mosquito in your tent. Will you sleep if there is a mosquito with malaria in your tent with you? You don't need me to tell you to be the Mosquito. When you're first to disable IPv4 and stick to it, you are a friend of Innovation. Eyeball network users will switch to whatever provider can get them IPv6 fastest. *The FCC is pushing for a transition to IPv6, particularly within the government, they don't explicitly require ISPs to provide IPv4 service.* On Fri, Jun 20, 2025 at 9:48 AM Marco Moock via NANOG <nanog@lists.nanog.org> wrote:

We've found that the gaming sites moved rapidly to v6 due to CGNAT issues, and that helped, but as they say, can't live with it, can't live without...
Which ones did?
IIRC Steam is still v4 only.
