I have to respectfully disagree.
IPv6 is easier, yes different, performing better and give one end to end connectivity.
Furthermore it enables things which are not possible with legacy IP.
Living in a #IPv6 first country, this is obviously to me.

@goetz@ipv6.social what in ipv6 is easier? SLAAC had potential until you got to the point when you need for some machines known addresses. Performing better, well I think it has smaller headers but bigger addresses, it needs plenty of addresess and the works thing is it needs plenty of multicast addresses more than you have HW filters on some ethernet IPs which needs you to go into promiscuous mode and do SW filtering of all broadcast. @nivex@tenforward.social
