IPv6 Adoption over the years?

JR0c

This discussion post that I encountered from my school was asking about why is the worldwide implementation of IPv6 slow? After researching on this, many articulate that it is quite expensive and also has compatibility issues, at layer 3 IPv4 which is a 32 bit and comes with common classes A, B, C, and D producing up to 4 billion addys. For IPv6 it is a 128 bit address, assuming the production rate number is tremendous. Could some one just pick my brain or see if this is accurate and enhance my knowledge on IPv6. Any thoughts and feedback would be helpful from anyone.
lol ig ppl are to smart here to reply.

It's on the right path in your answer! IPv4 employs 32-bit address addresses and can create approximately 4.3 billion distinct addresses. IPv6 extends it to a 128-bit system that allows for an almost limitless number of addresses. The major reason why IPv6 is slow to adopt are the expense and the requirement for up-to-date software and hardware, as well as the reality that many networks continue to function with IPv4 using the use of NAT (Network Address Translation) as a solution. The transitioning process requires planning and investment which is why organizations tend to delay until they really need to. But, IPv6 is the future so as devices are connected worldwide, the use of IPv6 will only grow.
