Why the IPx6 hatred?
You can remember 192.168.1.2. Good luck with fe80::261:5f21:d38a:aa02.
Would you like to predict the IPv6 address of 192.168.1.3?
Yes, remembering one IPv4 address is easy. Unfortunately, many have to
deal with 100s, sometimes 1000s of hosts, and remembering them all is
impossible. Heck, I even have trouble remembering the IP addresses oft
he ~100 devices on my home LAN. This is why we have DNS.
True, but it's not a problem in my local WiFi network. I suppose I could
put the fours or five machines in the hosts file. At work there is DNS so
using host names work but at times it's handy to know what subnet a
machine is on. If you can do that from a IPv6 address I've never figured
it out.
