Re: DNS better be flawless... Agreed, i was just thinking that... IPv6 is 100% reliant on DNS from a consumer stand point, if not all stand points...
It's nearly impossible to remember IPv6 addresses. |

| for a typical consumer, so is an ipv4 address.
Just a test - off the top of your head, what's google's IP address? Exactly.
Ask 20 of your friends. Let me know what the results are.
Most people don't remember the ip addresses for every website they need. Implying that ipv6 is a bad choice because you can't remember particular addresses is absolutely meaningless to 95% of web users who don't remember IP addresses anyways.

| Good luck talking grandma thorough pinging their gateway. It's hard enough getting them to type out an IP address. |

Another step that becomes a pain in the ass. Every time you throw something up on the network you have to have a DNS entry created. |

Actually, I was the only support person for a little mom-n-pop computer shop in KC for about a year. In-home work for grandmas, and on-site work for small businesses. Computer repairs/setups. Network repairs/setups.
I guarantee, if a grandma called in and said that her "internet is broke", I would spend 10 minutes just explaining to her how to bring up the command prompt. Start. Run. cmd. enter.
And if she COULD figure it out, what's the difference between telling her to go to 192.168.1.1 or fc00:1::1/64?
It's all gibberish to her anyways.
