why, inspite of having such shortage of static-public IP's, is IPv6 still not in wide use?
Because many things must be changed to use IPv6 exclusively?
Because what many things must be changed? Most TCP/IP Stacks support IPv6. Who else looks at packets at network layer? Routers & switches. ummmm... That must be the majority of the many things?
Because we get around the problem by using NATs and other such tricks.
No good. We manage to creep around. If we could have managed to get around, there would have had no need for IPv6.
