Could IPv6 have an edge over IPv4?

• rini17 5mo ago
  It would have an edge if it had inbuilt protection against spoofing. However now that there are big actors that profit off DDoS mitigation.... Or any other feature genuinely lacking from IPv4. Merely having unique address for every grain of sand on the planet isn't enough.

    Don't many botnets use compromised machines now? Protocol level mitigations wouldn't help that would it?

      It would make blacklisting compromised networks easier at least.

  its definitely cheaper
  • sedatk 5mo ago
    Why do you think so?
    • pestatije 5mo ago
      im talking about address pricing

        Oh, you're right, no question about it.
