IPv4 and IPv6

Speaking from experience, the problem I see with the latter is that the standard is perceived to be massively more complicated than IPv4's for little additional practical benefit. I imagine that if they had instead just increased the address space without changing anything else (conceptually speaking), adoption would have been much faster and IPv4 would be just a footnote in history books by now.
