This major internet routing blunder took A WEEK to fix. Why so long? It was IPv6 – and no one really noticed

Re: Shifting to IP6 properly?

"How? Not possible while any site you might need uses IP4 only and some gadget that can't be updated only uses IP4. And while a single ISP (fixed or mobile) doesn't do IP6 properly."

There is something called 464XLAT for just that purpose. It converts between IPv4 and IPv6, as needed. My cell phone is on an IPv6 only network and uses 464XLAT for access to IPv4 sites and for apps that are IPv4 only.
