That only works if you pass around an ugly IP(v6) address. DNS is still a thing, because humans didn't like passing around pure IPv4 addresses, IPv6 addresses are even less human-readable.
- throwaway218649 8y agoYour comment makes no sense. No one is passing around IP addresses by hand. It sounds like you have not heard of dynamic DNS, and don't understand how P2P software works. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AAAA_record https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AAAA_record https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_DNS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_DNS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peer-to-peer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peer-to-peer Can you please learn how basic networking works before posting on the topic of IPv6?
- craftyguy 8y agoOf course I know how DNS and dynamic DNS work. > Seems like quite a few of the .com companies exist because consumers don't have public IP's This comment is suggesting that dynamic DNS companies would go under because of IPv6, which is absurd. Can you please learn how to read before jumping to conclusions? It's fairly easy, I promise.
