I mean on a technical level. Are the devices that make up the infrastructure of the internet hardwired with IPv4? Is the firmware on these devices impossible to upgrade remotely?

If it’s just a matter of software or firmware then adoption should only take like a year but clearly that isn’t the case. So what specifically is stopping us?

    I think you’ll find the devices support it pretty well but some mobile carrier networks do not.

      At an enterprise level, that’s definitely not what we’re seeing. Whenever we try to turn it on for any system, there’s some major downside that the vendor has zero interest in fixing within the next 10 years.
