As soon as one of the computers in the subnet initiates traffic outside the network, its IP address becomes public knowledge though, right? Doesn't matter how large the space is, that information leaks, whereas with NAT it doesn't.
- Plasmoid 5y agoModern OS change their outgoing IPv6 address fairly often. They could grab 10,000 from the pool and rotate between them every second.
- doubleunplussed 5y agoIPv6 addresses can be ephemeral? What, DHCP is assigning a whole range to each client? Didn't know that. Pretty weird. For internal stuff I would be using IP addresses to identify peers. Ephemeral IP addresses in logs aren't very useful.
