At work, we’ll likely continue using v4 until we can’t.

v6 Addresses aren’t as easy to memorize. lol

It’s much easier, for example, to instruct someone to ping 192.168.100.1, rather than fe80:0:0:0:200:f8ff:fe21:67cf. Many people probably couldn’t even easily type that. lol

I went to a seminar about 10 years ago taught by Douglas Comer. He calculated that there are 10**25 IPV6 address per square meter of the earth's surface. I do not know if that was for the whole thing or just dry land. In any event, it ought to hold us for a while.
