Well, I am not 100% sure how the big guys solve this (that is,
probably most of you), but what about redundancy in case of
malfunctions? Say, someone digs through a cable (don't laugh! This has
happened to me!). Or some other failure that you have no way to
control.

Such problems can be completely unrelated to whether you are using
IPv4 or IPv6. In fact, I haven't ever heard of anyone cutting through
a cable by accident first asking "OK, what transport protocol is being
used on this one?"

``And indeed people sometimes speak of man's "bestial" cruelty, but
this is very unfair and insulting to the beasts: a beast can never be
so cruel as a man, so ingeniously, so artistically cruel.''
(Ivan Karamazov, in Dostoyevsky's 'The Brothers Karamazov')
