Yeah IPv6 has some pretty sweet innovations baked in. More efficient packets and routing, reduced performance hit by oversized broadcast domains, etc. But potentially problematically it technically does not allow for NAT so every computer has a publicly routable IP address. It does however have a very nice system for link-local networks.
I think the biggest brainfuck for IPv6 is managing a dual stack network because you end up translating concepts between IPv4 and IPv6 that really aren’t meant to be translated
Now do it with IPv6 😅
I refuse to believe anybody knows how IPv6 works
I learn how it works. I’ve got it down. Next day comes annnnd it’s gone.
I have a feeling IPv6 falls into the category of technology that requires constant “re-learning”. I’d also place OAuth2 in that camp as well
Why? I thought it was less complicated since you don’t need subnet masks or NAT
Wait, subnet masks are not used in IPv6? Hell fucking yeah.
