Being in transition state indefinitely is not success.
The other side is when you are v6 only and you dont notice. We arent
there yet. Thats the failure.
This is a terrible way to look at things. SIP has been gradually been
taking over the PSTN signaling for 20 years. It has not rooted out
every SS7 installation on the planet and probably won't until I'm long
dead. Is that a failure? It's certainly a "transition state". After
not paying attention for probably a decade and seeing how much it's
penetrated I'd call that a resounding success. The same is true of
IPv6 with all of the mobile uptake. Legacy is hard. It always has been
hard. Calling something a failure because it doesn't instantly defeat
legacy a terrible take. It was always going to be difficult to add
address space to IP regardless of how it was done. All of the bagging
on IPv6 and imagining a better ipng ignores that basic fact.

SIP wasnt formulated to save telephony. In fact sip has nearly 100%
adoption for ip based telephony. It did displace legacy and proprietary
protocols.
There is no comparison. IPv6 transition was intended to complete before
run out using Dual Stack. Fail.
