ipv4 ipv6 transition

The tag covers the ongoing transition from IPv4 to IPv6, focusing on dual-stack networking as the primary practical compromise. Discussions highlight how IPv6 adoption has grown quietly among mobile carriers and cloud platforms, while IPv4 remains dominant in enterprise and legacy systems. The transition is described as a gradual, uneven migration rather than a sudden revolution, with dual-stack configurations keeping the internet functional during the shift. Topics include the technical and operational realities of maintaining both protocols simultaneously, the slow pace of change, and the invisible nature of the upgrade for most users.
