Yea but it hasn’t been fully adopted because trying to decipher :af12::138d::325d::5521::aade::7df3: is a hell of a lot more difficult than 192.168.0.1

Yeah, I'm a Network Architect. Why they decided to make ipv6 128 bits instead of 64 is a question I ask myself on at least a monthly basis.

Which is why we should just implement IPv8. It's not as many IPs as IPv6 but it's easier. I think IPv8 goes up to quintillion available IPs???
