In fact you could have an IPv6 address for each user, and if one starts becoming troublesome both revoke account and stop using that address.
You could create a new IPv6 address every millisecond, and it'd take 584,868,233 years to exhaust a IPv6 subnet (/64).
- pdonis 1mo agoPerhaps a server run by a large corporation could do this. Perhaps. But an ordinary person? I don't see it. If it's tough for an ordinary person to handle safely opening a port in their firewall for forwarding, it's tough squared (or perhaps cubed or an even higher power) for an ordinary person to handle auto-creating a separate IPV6 address for every other person that wants to communicate over the Internet with them. Not to mention, how does this work with DNS? If Ordinary Person wants to put an article up for others to read, how do the others find it? Surely not by Ordinary Person sending individually crafted IPV6 addresses to anyone who wants to read their article. (And how do they even find those other people if they are also creating new IPV6 addresses for everyone else?)
