That is the primary advantage ... or rather all the consequences of having globally unique addresses for everything available with minimal administrative overhead. > ipv6 vs ipv4 Which one is better for privacy? Rarely makes a difference (web tracking happens via cookies anyway), and IPv6 has a huge potential of enabling less centralized protocols. > Which one is better for security? IPv6, because one flat address space without translators is easier to reason about and doesn't need so many workarounds to make connections work. > Which one is better for speed? According to what large content companies publish, IPv6 is usually quite a bit faster (lower latency), rarely slightly slower. > Which is easier to configure? IPv6 > Which is better for end user? Directly? Doesn't really matter. Indirectly? IPv6. > Which is better for advanced user / net admin? IPv6 hands down. > Which is better for companies? IPv6, unless you have to deal with legacy software that doesn't want to speak IPv6.
