IPv6 Is a Total Nightmare — This is Why

I’m rewriting this to be a little more coherent, fix some issues, and, really, clarify some points I didn’t get across right. Sit tight.

So this is just going to be a total rant. IPv6 is, in theory, a solution to many things, including the dwindling IPv4 address space. IPv6 was a draft in 1997(!), and became a real Internet Standard in 2017. And, quite frankly, it’s one of those things that just adds too much hassle for not enough benefit.
