Stop Doing IPv6

Text on the meme

STOP DOING IPv6 • ADDRESSES WERE NOT SUPPOSE TO HAVE LETTERS IN THEM • YEARS OF WORK yet NO REAL-WORLD USE FOUND for going bigger than 10.0.0.0/8 Wanted more hosts than that for a laugh? We had a tool for that: It was called "NAT" • 'Yes please connect to 2001:500:2f::f. Just ping ff02::1%eth0' - Statements dreamed up by the utterly Deranged LOOK at what networking tech have been demANding your Respect for all this time, with all the routers & switches we built for them (This is REAL network, done by REAL networkers): ???? ???????? ?????????????????? "Hello I would like to connect()" They have played us for absolute fools

What it means

A satirical networking meme criticizes IPv6 by contrasting its complicated addresses and limited practical adoption with the simplicity of IPv4 and NAT. The tiny networking diagrams are presented as supposedly “real” networking, while IPv6 is mocked through an absurd connection request. It is used as a reaction to frustration, skepticism, or jokes about IPv6 deployment.
