But having followed the various conversations about IPv6 capable ISPs, I'm left wondering why anyone wants to actually use IPv6 right now?
Native IP level security? More addresses.
Can't remember any other advantage.
But I've always found the addressing horrible to understand. IPv4 has an advantage there. It's easier to remember 10.1.0.23 than 2002:421a:3423:377b:aedf::0323 etc
Can you imagine a LAN Party with IPv6? :o I know people suggest running a DNS server to helpfully translate IP addresses to names, but is it really feasible for everyone to run their own DNS server? .... even on a LAN party? (or similar ad-hoc LAN gathering)
(maybe this is one motivation for Bonjour/Zeroconf/Avahi?)
Anyone care to prove me wrong?
