  > Based on your description it appears you attempted to deploy "ipv4 with longer addresses" Because I honestly think this is what we (99.9999% of people) really need. IPv6 is second system syndrome. Things can fail in a thousand different ways and it's a pita to debug. Look no further than the "easy it sucks" top comment. I've had so many random bullshit problems in both, Enterprise environments and with home setups. Buggy SLAAC, buggy DHCPv6, buggy PD, just hot garbage everywhere. Prefix changing at home during the day? -> some devices work, some devices not picking up the new prefix for a couple minutes, some do but still try to use the old address. I don't care where the bug is, which device is at fault - IPv6 has been around for ages now and we still have to deal with this kind of crap. Wouldn't have happened with "IPv4 but longer addresses" and good old NAT. Google is boycotting DHCPv6, for which reason my current workplace simply disabled IPv6 for wifi, because they insist telling the device what address it gets. It seems IPv6 was created for engineers to jack off to, being actually used was just an afterthought.
