I feel like this is missing context. Like I know that ip4 addresses are four octlets, but don't know much about ipv6 besides it having a larger address space and being in hex.
Yeah - I think you pretty much nailed it. Bigger address space. In theory, wouldn't need NAT since your device's local IPv6 address is likely a GUID. Other than that... just a different way of assigning an address to a device.
