"Plus, the 128-bit address is a clusterf*ck. You can memorize 12 numbers but you can't do that for a very long string of numbers.
So when DHCP isn't working, who are you going to call?
When you have to have a static IP, how are you going to remember those numbers and letters? How about hundreds of devices that need them?"
My friend, a little news about IPv6. First off, you don't ever have to worry about static addresses. IPv6 supports stateful and stateless configurations. In other words, you can use DHCP, static (like IPv4), or publish the IPv6 prefix on an IPv6 Router for a particular link (subnet).
Moreover, IPv6 requires mandatory support for IPSec. This means any system using IPv6, no matter what type of system it is, will have to support it. All we need then is a general consensus that all communications should be encrypted.
I sincerely believe that the future of Internet communications will have the "Expectations of privacy". In Canada, this means that you can't sniff or decrypt without a warrant. Plus, decrypting AES-128 or AES-256 ain't no easy task.
I'm actually looking forward to implementing IPv6 in our company and at home.
LuckyDucky7, just wondering... how much solid technical knowledge do you have about IPv6? Is your understanding about it based on abbreviated blurbs on the net or are you a CCIE with a PHD?
Also, do you know that IPv6 will have hierarchical routing? No longer will Internet Routers have 30-40 thousand routes to manage. Plus the maximum hops will be greatly reduced. This should reduced latency and improve efficiency.
