Honestly, if IPV6 had been v4 but with 2 extra octlets, I believe we would be at close to 100% adoption. And also wouldn't run out of ips anytime soon.

- kaliszad 4y agoThey haven't done many of the changes for fun but because it makes some things work better i.e. using multicast instead of a broadcast in many places compared to IPv4. Enabling and making autoconfiguration a lot more integral. Making the smallest standard prefix /64 (with P2P being /127) - eliminating basically all thinking about how many hosts can I fit in a subnet. There are things with MTU and fragmenting that are partially more complicated but in a sense also simpler than IPv4.
