> Besides the number of ips what are the advantages? 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.
