    IPv6 = second system effect. It’s way too complicated for what was needed and this complexity hinders its adoption. We don’t need 100 ip addresses for every atom on the earth’s surface and we never will.

    They should have just added an octet to IPv4 and be done with it.

      it’s not about using all 100 IP addresses for every atom

      it’s about having large enough ranges to allocate them in ways that make sense instead of arbitrarily allocating them by availability

      That why we should adopt my ipv12. Its three levels of addresses rach 512 bit longs. One for host one for network and one what ever the heel else need. Planet that’s it we asogn each planet a 512 bit address
