My university is still mostly on IPv4 for our infrastructure. We got in early on the IPv4 address gold rush, so we got a full /16 block. Not quite MIT’s 18.0.0.0/8 block, but enough so there’s little pressure to move. It can be a little embarrassing, feeling like an institution that should be breaking ground is instead trailing behind. At the same time, our IT department is chronically understaffed, so I can understand not doing the switch. It’s not as simple as just flipping a switch, there are many ramifications of IPv6 that aren’t immediately obvious.
