Why Your Server Should Support IPv6, Even Though Twitter Doesn't

In this blog post, Justin V. Smith discusses the critical reasons why servers must support the IPv6 protocol. With the increasing number of devices connected to the Internet, the IPv4 protocol, which has been in use for many years, is becoming inadequate. The article highlights several key reasons why the migration to IPv6 is not just beneficial but essential. First and foremost, IPv6 provides a significantly larger address space, allowing for a much greater number of devices to be connected. Additionally, this protocol enhances network performance and security, which is increasingly important in today’s age of cyber threats. Justin also emphasizes that while migrating to IPv6 may seem costly and time-consuming, the long-term benefits outweigh these initial challenges. Ultimately, adopting this protocol could lead to better quality internet services in the future.
