Optional
Yes.
And most probably lifelong.
we will tell our grandchildren "back in my day we had IPV4 ADDRESSES!"

Fucking finally.
Now if my stupid ISP would make the switch.
[QUOTE=LATTEH;34261939]I wonder if old online multiplayer games will be affected?[/QUOTE]
They would. You'd have to have a way to convert an IPv6 address to IPv4.
Old software wasn't designed to handle IPv6 addresses.
It's really cool that I took part in the first batch of the Internet.

So this means that older devices won't be able to use the internet?

Yay, I think?
[QUOTE=Ardosos;34265470]So this means that older devices won't be able to use the internet?[/QUOTE]
I hope not. I'm pretty sure that most ISPs will start rolling out dual stack devices, with both IPv4 and native IPv6 support, to smooth out the transition.
The day this comes the day all ip bans become useless
I sent an email to my ISP year back, asking when they'd be getting IPv6 working.
They replied IPv4 exhaustion isn't actually a problem.
I'll send them another email when addresses finally run out completely in Europe.
My ISP has been saying IPv6 is "coming soon" for like 4 years, at this I point I just run a tunnel via Hurricane Electric, they're quite good.
