Comment on IPv6 Deployment Status

Comments

What happens to all old software that is more or less "hard-coded" to use IPv4 addresses?

Will there be an OS layer that can run an app in IPv4 compatibility mode of some sort?

464XLAT should be the solution for this [0][1]. Requires network and OS support.

Old software shouldn’t be connected to the internet.
