Can anyone explain why migration to IPv6 has been so slow? Just too cheap/lazy to migrate or does it break things or what?
There's a lot of layers of equipment and software that all have to support it, and some companies just aren't willing to replace it all. I'm sure it's exacerbated by how much harder some old code is to work with, because we didn't have the same body of documentation and design concepts that we have today (yes, companies still skimp now, but a lot has changed.
At this point those are all excuses, though. You should have migrated by now.
