IPv6

Privacy != anonymity

It's the same damn thing without the need to port forward or hole punch. And NAT is not, nor ever has been, a suitable replacement for a firewall, so if losing it hurts your security then you're already doing something horribly wrong.

Larger addresses does mean proportionally larger routing tables for some algorithms. You shouldn't ever notice the difference, but your ISP might.

higher ping due to more numbers in protocol

You're really supposed to be getting a /48, /56 or something like that, rather than one /64.

New routing algorithms work so much better with IPv6 it's unreal, because of the way it's structured: IPv4's CIDR was a dirty filthy hack, but then so is BGP.

>ipv4
I can remember this shit when copying from one device to another or when I have to retype it manually
can enter one handed on the 10 key
can recognize the ranges of certain ips "microsoft, charter, amazon, china"

>ipv6
What the fuck am I looking at?
autisticlly long
pain in the ass to retype
cannot enter one handed
no chance in hell of recognizing this shit

>>56306345
no one EVER considered nat to be a firewall replacement you fucking dip.

nat however is inherently a security feature

>- privacy suffers that everyone will get an unique IPv6 address

Did you even read the standards? There is an entire section dedicated to allowing people to choose an IP address randomly and make sure it doesn't conflict with other devices on the network. Technically meant to be used for embedded devices that don't have enough long-term memory to keep track of the IP they had last time they connected, but totally and 100% allowable for all devices. You could change your IP every 5 minutes and nobody would even notice

>reading the standard

Fool. Just invent your own.

>>56305046
what prevents your isp from assingning dynamic addresses?

Did you even IPv6?, you get 2 subnets :1 the IP address for direct conectivity with your ISP 2 The delegate Prefix, this is DHCPv6 feature and you get at least a subnet /60
