I've always found it difficult to communicate IPv6 addresses over the telephone, or type them in manually, when compared to IPv4. IPv6 does have abbreviation built in, but "2001:db8::ff00:42:8329" ("2001:0db8:0000:0000:0000:ff00:0042:8329") is still much more difficult to use than, say, 69.135.54.4.
Has anyone created an easier way to communicate IPv6 addresses, or is this something we'll have to learn to live with?
- hebz0rl 13y agoThat's what DNS is for.
- geocar 13y agoI use pastebin to save the IP address and just read off the URL.
- baudehlo 13y agoJGC had an article on pronounceable IPv6 addresses somewhere but I can't find it now. Maybe you'll have better luck with google than I did (or he'll probably read this and link it).
