Re: IPv6 beta

Sorry guys but what are the practical benefits to using IPv6? I see the mention of tons more IP addresses, but what can I do better with IPv6 than with IPv4 or what is there that I couldn't do with IPv4?

- You can have a valid IP address that contains the word 'babe'
- You get a cute dancing turtle on kame.net

If you're expecting something new and exciting from IPv6, you will be disappointed. But, as IPv4 space becomes more scarce, some services are bound to go IPv6 only. For dorks like me, it's just another experience point to add to my resume.
