i understand ipv6.. and yes i have heard people say that it helps from the standpoint of security due to ipsec, etc..

but, is that based more on issues with nat than anything else..

also, i believe that from a hardware standpoint, the technology has mitigated a lot of the issues of the past with complex routing tables, etc..

do i believe that ipv6 when fully implemented will make the internet better.. i dont know..
a network is always going to be limited by its weakest point and i think that network capacity outweighs ipv6. its easy to design something on paper, but until its fully tested in a live environment, i wouldnt speculate on the outcome..

on paper, is ipv6 better than ipv4.. yes it is..

will it make a difference on the overall internet experience? time will tell..
