Ignoring the physics behind doing it for the moment, there's still the question of whether the person who steps into one dies and a copy steps out of the other end. (It's a short story by Aasimov, or something)  |

But is the one that comes out the other end an evil twin. That's the real question

And if you were evil before would you be even more evil or would you turn good?

could they not just add another octet to ipv4? I actually am a large advocate for IPv4.1, which I defined as 255.255.255.255.255.255 That'd be easy. Tanks. I think with the world's population ever increasing, plus mobile usage on the up...I think that should easily run out  though I haven't really calculated that IP address. I do think that IPv6 is too much, but at least they won't have a problem with that amount (well shouldn't at least) |

274,941,996,890,625
That's 65,025 times more IPs than exists today... or even if the population of the world tripled, 13092 IP addresses each!!
Geeks went over the top with IPv6, imo.
I could personally justify 15 IP addresses. Router, Switch, PC, Server [+5 VMs], Laptop, PS3, Xbox, Two Phones, and Tablet.
I also don't really like the idea of every IP address being public. That to me seems dangerous, and a firewally nightmare. It's all well and good saying techies will set it up fine, but most people are idiots. Internal addresses on the 192 range, and then some reserved and the rest public.

Would the IPv4.1 or whatever be compatible with the IPv4? because they are saying that IPv6 isn't compatible or compliant with IPv4 hence the need for the "switch over" date. Oh, I just remembered, I have to contact my ISP see if my connection is compatible/compliant with IPv6

I think you need to re-read the thread. IPv4.1 is an April Fools joke.  |

You can route IPv4 traffic over IPv6, but not vice versa. In all seriousness though, I'd have preferred IPv4.1 over IPv6. Incidentally, I wasn't aware of the joke when I called it 4.1... I'm just a developer by trade and that'd be the first major version after 4 I wouldn't worry if your connection is IPv6 capable to be honest. It's almost 100% likely it won't anyway. It's likely your ISPs routers are already though. It's also a hideously complicated system to try and actually say. Ah yes.... ::1 that's nice and easy to remember (that's equiv of 127.0.0.1) |

What are the chances of governments and military/national security agencies staying on IPv4?
suits them down to the ground in my eyes, enough IP's for all there skynet satellites and bots once the public is shifted over to IPv6

I'm not going IPv4 internally for ages. I'll run a router that'll be IPv6, and have an internal IPv4 range.
I don't necessarily see governments going over quickly either. They'll want fuller security audits of IPv6 before they switch, imo. There isn't much in the way of benefit for a government when you think about it.
