Every day I regret becoming a network engineer more and more
You have a clusterfuck of a clusterfuck because corpocunts make more money from keeping everyone on shit old stacks
The network engineer to communist/anarchist pipeline is real
My goal is to be a network engineer…hmmmm
Sounds like your goal is to be an anarchist, welcome.
Would you rather
- Convert to IPv6?
- Pay 10,000,000 per year?
The choice is yours!
I don’t know who pulled that cabling, but they need to be hung with it.
I know this is humor, but for the record this wouldn’t work. Each simultaneous TCP connection needs a unique four-tuple (source address, source port, destination address, destination port). If a lot the people behind the NAT try to connect to the same place (destination address and port) at the same time (something popular like Google, YouTube or Netflix), and their source address is the same, the source port needs to be different for each connection. So after at most 65535 connections within a short time the NAT would run out of ports and no one behind the same NAT would be able to open new connections to the same place until the NAT mapping expiries.
So you could have at most tens of thousands of people behind the same NAT, maybe even fewer to make it reliable.
Don’t forget the tech giants are all IPv6 enabled. Google Netflix Apple xhamster Facebook Microsoft are all reachable over v6.
OK, bad examples. On the other hand e.g. X, GitHub, Pornhub, PSN, Steam or Discord do not support IPv6.
Really discord. Didint discord start existing when ipv6 was becoming more and more normalised unlike the rest of those examples.
Guess I should start using xhamster over PH for tech puritism reasons
Fuck whoever chose to make the acronym the same, but this is already possible by being a terrible person and sticking PAT behind traditional NAT
