Putting letters in IP addresses made it near impossible to remember what your network settings were supposed to be. People said the same sort of thing about v4: that it was hard to configure because you needed to know four separate addresses (IP, netmask, default route AND the DNS server) and if you mix up any of these it doesn't work. As it turns out, in both cases it's just a lack of familiarity, not actual difficulty. The super complex jaw movement is just a regular bite, but you puff your cheeks out a bit. Or er, something. > This lead to Cisco, Microsoft, and Google all taking completely different approaches [...] but this time they forgot to add a way to communicate a default route "There should only be one way to do things... wait, no, not like that." |
