Yes, it will be interesting to watch. Especially the 2030 deadline of "IPv6 only InyetNet". It will depend on how one defines when that goal is reached. Defiing it as when all devices connected to the Internet no longer support IPv4 is unrealistic. It will take VERY much longer than nine years for all traces of IPv4 to be gone. I'd say that when less that 1% of ISPs still offer a public IPv44 address to their customers that goal is reached.


Cheers, Michiel
