Multihomed hosts which are computers with internet service from more then one ISP. In theory this will not be needed in IPv6. You end up with giant tables and lots of work doing lookups in them (unless someone has a 30 bit CAM.).
With IPv4 there is no easy test you can do as an ISP to see who an IP address belongs to.

Two is IPv6 in theory makes it easyish to change IP addresses, so IP address space in v6 is not portable (because the costs of being "not portable" have been significantly reduced). IPv6 might be more efficient for two reasons, one is there is a lot more address space so each ISP gets very huge blocks of space, enough that you can probably just say "if the top X bits look like this then the packet goes to ISP Y" (one bit masking, and one table lookup, in a "not too big table" even). I've heard the routing algorithms are supposed to be more efficient under IPv6 than IPv4
Nothing will ever be attempted, if all possible objections must first be overcome. To make unsubstantiated and denigrating remarks about me, based on one question, is again uncalled for. If you don't like what I said, please present a good argument about why what I said is wrong and/or suggest something better. I mention this information, although I believe it to be irrelevant to my question, to show again that your ad hominem attack is without merit.

And when I code webpages I do use XHTML and CSS 2 as well.

Just the tip of the iceberg so to speak, is that I compile and install from source the latest versions of Apache, php, mySQL, Cyrus-SASL, Mozilla, Sendmail, and many others including Darwin as well. I think you would do best to understand me and what I do much, much more before jumping to any conclusions, let alone ones about my mentality. Tell me what they are and how I will benefit from using them I may decide to use IPv6 but you fail to provide me any convincing reason to do so. You say the technical improvements (of IPv6) will greatly benefit the internet, and by abstraction myself, but you fail to list them. But your jump to the broad conclusion that I'm stymying innovation because I ask this question is not reasonable or productive IMHO. I would expect comments along the lines of "you can't turn it off", or "your system will not boot if you do", or "here's how.", or even "you shouldn't do it because.".

I posted a comment asking how to turn-off IPv6.
It would be nice if we all switched to IPv6, but the world won't end if IPv4 hangs around forever (which is good, as it will!), or even if IPv4 remains dominant forever - which may happen.īmerlin: I think your remarks are uncalled for. A lot of what was "only in IPv6" got pushed back into IPv4. On the other hand nothing much about IPv6 is earth shaking.
As another, about half of what Rendavus gives you was inspired by IPv6. you can run a server, and things like iChat AV work easier, so do P2P type programs). As another example because it has a very large address space ISPs that provide IPv6 don't charge extra for globally reachable static addresses (i.e. That is important because it means people don't have to reinvent (normally poorly!) security for each and every network protocol. IPv6 does do some nice things, for example encryption is built into it, if it had be deployed rather then IPv4 nobody would have needed to invent https, or ssh the old easy protocols would have been fine. If you don't care, then well, that's fine. If you have set your own system up to use IPv6 then clearly you would care, and if the other system had gone to the trouble to set up IPv6 they would care.
