Really? IPv6 here and rolling out. But _really_, the impact of IPv4 <-> IPv6 interoperability while the Internet world creaks its way into a full IPv6 deployment (will it ever be 100.000000% complete? Unlikely) will probably be very, very small - especially in popular services. There are a range of tried, tested and trusted ways to mitigate and overcome many of the challenges and as long as service providers have properly planned and prepared, the cries of "IPv6 DOOOOOOOM!" will turn out like Y2K. This article struck me as being an Xbox puff piece based on unnecessary IPv6 scaremongering.
Also: especially liked the Emma Thompson highlights.

Date: 2013-11-07 02:00 pm (UTC)Multiple layers of NAT are an appalling kludge - and will hopefully die off entirely in about ten years, when IPv6 is pervasive, and IPv4 becomes deprecated. And then we can have more of the net be person-to-person again, which will be nice.
And Asia is already deploying services on IPv6 which are inaccessible to users over here on IPv4. Thankfully, most modern OSes support it, so it's just a question of the ISPs getting it rolled out.
