Most of us live our digital lives behind a layer of Network Address Translation (NAT), where dozens of devices share a single public IPv4 address at home. IPv6 was officially standardized in 2017, 22 ...

As we reported back in July, the Internet Engineering Task Force has been thinking about ways to make the IPv4 world talk to the (future) IPv6 world. This way, we don't all have to upgrade at the same ...
