Explore the current state and future trajectory of IPv6 adoption in this 36-minute conference talk from SREcon25 Europe/Middle East/Africa. Examine the evolution of IPv6 since its standardization in RFC 1883 in 1995 and analyze why, despite being envisioned as IPv4's replacement, global adoption remains around 40% as of late 2024. Discover projections suggesting complete migration may not occur until 2045, and understand why this timeline might be overly optimistic. Learn about the practical implications for Site Reliability Engineering teams operating in 2025 and beyond, as the speaker addresses multiple aspects of IPv6 deployment challenges and considerations. Gain insights from Alexandros Kosiaris of the Wikimedia Foundation on navigating the complex landscape of Internet Protocol migration and its impact on modern infrastructure management.
