another point which makes ipv6 easier to handle for network operators is the fact that subnetting is (practically) a thing of the past. Customers are supposed to get a /56, and the global routing table consists of /32's or at maximum a /48 in regards to subnet length. This greatly reduces the global routing tables size because aggregation is actually doable, compared to IPv4. Also, ipv6 has some neat features like duplicate address detection, link-local addressing and Stateless autoconfiguration.
