IPv6: A Technical Triumph, but Why Is It So Invisible in Practice?
Despite years of development and the pressing need for more IP addresses, IPv6 adoption remains disappointingly low. While IPv6 is designed to handle the future of the internet, especially with the proliferation of IoT devices, its real-world implementation tells a different story. This article explores the reasons behind IPv6's low adoption and contrasts it with decentralized alternatives like IPvX.
Is IPv6 the future or do we need a new approach for internet infrastructure?
Although IPv6 was introduced more than two decades ago, its implementation has been slow and difficult. Although its main goal was to solve the problem of IPv4 address exhaustion, many stakeholders are still not ready to fully migrate from the current IPv4 protocol. And even those who implement IPv6 continue to fully use the old but familiar protocol. In this short article we will look at the reasons why IPv6 is not getting the results and adoption that its developers expected. We will also look at the arguments in favour of considering new, innovative protocols such as IPvX.
Rethinking the Future of Internet Infrastructure
The global network infrastructure is no longer just a tool for scientists or a military experiment. It has become an essential part of the global order. This article critiques the existing management of internet resources and explores how innovative technologies like IPvX and blockchain could lead to a more sustainable, transparent, and effective system for governing internet infrastructure.
Securitizing IP Addresses: Is it time to become an IPv4 Investor?
The scarcity and increasing value of IPv4 addresses have opened new investment opportunities through securitization. This article explores the concept of IP addresses as financial assets, their benefits for investors, and the potential for portfolio diversification, alongside emerging regulations and platforms for trading such assets.
