Hi… Just checking back in after a long period of inactivity. There are about a dozen places where I’m using Raspberry PIs with WiPi adapters in lieu of Particle Photons to do dirt-simple things just because I need IPv6 capabilities to communicate with the remote devices.
These are devices in far off remote locations where I need to be able to send packets directly to the devices from wherever. They can’t live behind NAT and they must be individually addressable. In today’s world of $15+ per IPv4 address and needing a /24 to make it routable vs. free IPv6 from almost any reputable ISP, that makes IPv6 a hard requirement.
80+% of US Mobile traffic is now IPv6.
50+% of US wireline traffic is now IPv6.
It’s 2018. Time to get off the dime and deliver the IPv6 support I started asking for around the time the Photon was first released.
