Fun fact after my first month as student in Computer Science at the university.
Twenty-some years ago, in my apprenticeship as computer specialist, our teacher told us (very optimistically):
«You don't really need to learn IPv4 anymore. It's obsolete. Focus on IPv6.»
Last week our professor in the «Networks» course told us the exact opposite:
«You have to learn IPv4. It's still the standard. IPv6? A superficial look is enough.»
What does this tell us about IPv6 adoption? 😉
Sidenote: Swisscom actually just switched on IPv6 on its mobile network! https://www.swisscom.ch/en/residential/help/mobile/ipv6.html
