I find the article to be a little misleading. While I do realize the benefits and merits of transitioning to ipv6, I don't really see this transition resulting in a better gaming experience for gamers. It would solve some issues for some users in certain scenarios, but when I think about a better gaming experience, I think about lag (aka latency). I'm a little bullish on the subject because I am working on something new in this space (focused on multiplayer gaming connectivity), so maybe I'm being too harsh. But most of the gamers I know don't really care about their Router/Wifi Configuration or ipv4 vs ipv6. They just want to connect, they want it to work, and they want minimum lag.
