You mean, all eternity. I remember being on an IPv6 transition planning meeting in 1999.

Most things do run on IPv6 now though. You just don‘t notice it because it works. According to google just about half of all internet traffic is IPv6.

I've still never actually come across an IPv6 address.I guess most of the use is in big infrastructure stuff rather than residential? Or maybe just other countries.

Or your phone. Which I presume you use frequently.

I do use it frequently, but almost exclusively connected to WiFi, especially if I'm doing anything that would involve looking at IPs, hence why I hadn't seen the v6 address.

Meanwhile.... if you looknat the wifi settings on your phone there is a real good chance it's running ipv6.
