I am personally happy with the change. As an ISP we are always short on IPs and can't ever get them fast enough.

I didnt mind throwing those out the window to spend more time on IP. Especially when we had networks which would use two or more protocols concurrently. Bring on the superior protocol that has been designed from the ground up with the lessons learned from the past.

Subnetting and summarisation are far easier with v6 (all you need to do is look, as it is all divisible by two unlike v4). I also cant decode hex without a calculator and you really dont need to. Just look at where the numbers are different in your addresses and thats it. > > Cheers, > Matt > > CCIE #22386 > CCSI #31207 > > On 5 February 2011 15:50, Di Bias, Steve <[email protected]> wrote: >> LOL >> >> While IPv6 solves some of the issues with IPv4 I still can't get used to it. I understand it's inevitability, and there is nothing I can do about it, but I still love IPv4! I mean, at least with IPv4 I can remember the ip addresses of most of the critical network gear at work, not so with IPv6. With IPv6 I can't even remember one address, it just seems like total nonsense to me. Maybe one day when I've seen it in action on a live network I will feel differently, at least I hope so... >> >> -----Original Message----- >> From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] >> Sent: Friday, February 04, 2011 4:51 PM >> To: Di Bias, Steve; [email protected]; Mesikoo >> Kamali; CCIE OSL >> Subject: Re: [OSL | CCIE_RS] IPv4 address space >> >> IPv6 is far easier to work with! >> >> I'm glad v4 is gone.
