Meanwhile ipv6 which had literally one job* remains fairly useless.
* that is to avert impending address exhaustion, but it happened, and ipv6 sat idle and did nothing.
- peterwwillis 7y agoIf that were its only job, the only change would have been 128 bits instead of 32 for the address. There's like a bazillion other changes, unfortunately :(
- Dagger2 7y agoNot as many as you think. It's mostly very similar to v4, and the majority of the changes are to handle the extra address width.
