> I think for us operations types IPv6 is still too complicated. I mean when someone says "hey, what's the IP of that web server?", saying "192.168.13.129" is easy. There's a cure for that, it's called DNS.
But seriously, building IPv6 networks feels strage for a few hours, after that you just wish IPv4 would disappear because it's clumsy and ambiguous in comparison. IPv6 leaves so much room to logically arrange your (and the world's) whole network in one namespace without any RFC1918, making routing and firewall configuration really easy and elegant. Soon you will be able to know a system's VLAN/function/location just by looking at certain parts of the address. |
