IPv6 - did we just win
summary
Claim: IPv6 does not replace IPv4; deployment settles into a long-term dual-stack reality where mobile clients often have IPv6 but many desktops and servers sit behind SSL-terminating load balancers and gateways. The tools actually used are NATs, proxies and cloud gateways which scale but break the original end-to-end principle. Surprising numbers: about 120 SL8 in 2001 then 80 SL8 by 2007; Google reports roughly half of traffic over IPv6, so IPv6 helps but does not achieve the original vision.
