Here's the thing about ipv4 vs IPv6. IPv4 dotted decimal addresses seem custom made to be just what a human being can remember. IPv6 hex... not so much.

@ragnell Yep. 3 digits per chunk, 4 chunks - it's perfect!

People can't even use mac address without resorting to just checking the last 4, no one's gonna be able to use a 64-bit address field, let alone the full 128.IPv6 won't catch on until someone finds a way to make it so network engineers can remember the addresses off the tops of their heads.

@KelsonV @ragnell I can barely remember even my /48 prefix. In fairness, though, most days I can't remember my /29 IPv4 prefix either.

And this is a thing we see the protocol engineers forget constantly.. You have to allow for the human brain in some parts. And when you are in the TCP/IP stack, the human brain is still working with the addressing.

@mansr @ragnell Subnet prefixes are where my memory failed. As long as the mask was only 255s and 0s, I was fine - anything else I'd have to look up every time.

@KelsonV @ragnell The last part of my /29 is 232, that much I remember.

@mansr @KelsonV I always have to look up the network and broadcast addresses.
