How about local IPv6 addresses? I can easily see this being left out due to sheer complexity.
- knocte 10y agoI'm guessing that even in a future in which we have 100% of IPv6 deployment, we would still run our loopback/LAN interfaces with IPv4 for simplicity...
- nitrogen 10y agoIt's too late. I have already run into issues on Linux distros with some daemons binding to 127.0.0.1, but localhost resolving to ::1.
- X-Istence 10y agoThere is only one local IPv6 address: ::1/128 Unlike IPv4 there is not an entire /8.
- Ded7xSEoPKYNsDd 10y agoIPv6 still has the whole IPv4-mapped range at ::ffff:127.0.0.0/104
