>Why did IPv6 fail?
it succeeded , just not implemented because no legacy compatibility & lazy isp/websites

>>61858581
It didn't solve any of the problems IPv4 had, so they skipped it.

>>61858371
It didnt fail.
Its widely used for example in cellular networks, where terminals inside the network have only IPv6.

>>61858581
It was assigned for Stream Protocol - not a general purpose layer 3 protocol.

>>61858371
no reason to leave ipv4 addresses can still be bought so there was no reason to force to v6

also that google/social media hubs didnt adopt it immediately so no one else cared.

https://www.opennic.org/ recommends me ipv6 addresses, does that mean that my machine uses ipv6 exclusively?
