https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internetwork_Packet_Exchange

Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX) is the network-layer protocol in the IPX/SPX protocol suite. IPX is derived from Xerox Network Systems' IDP. It also has the ability to act as a transport layer protocol.

The IPX/SPX protocol suite was very popular through the late 1980s and mid-1990s because it was used by Novell NetWare, a network operating system. Due to Novell NetWare's popularity, IPX became a prominent protocol for internetworking.

(Just to be clear, IPX is not going to take over, and my above comment was intended to be humorous.)

It’s IPv10, which binds IPv4 and IPv6 together (4+6=10), sometimes known as Dual Stack.

What's IPX?

I once asked my college professor of computer networking to explain IPX to me and this was the response I got.

Mine is Quantum Fiber, a sister of CenturyLink. CL has it, apparently QF doesn't. Or at least not natively, rather 6rd. And then possibly not on the modem they installed? At any rate, I haven't been able to find anything online.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Actually on someone else's network right now and think it's cabled Vodafone and I do have IPv6. Only got android to play with right now though, apparently Vodafone are tight bastards for the range of addresses you can get.

Edit: version of Android I am on only let's you set a static IPv4 address, what a shit operating system

at least I'm right 😝

also your welcome for ushering in a new era of progress

here's the rabbit hole if you'd like to learn more: https://www.brainworms.lgbt/

Just remember, a lot of trans people have internalized transphobia - that doesn't excuse it, but it's important context that a lot of this is self loathing.
