Seriously, my knowledge ends with:

  • It offers a shitload of IP addresses
  • They look really complicated
  • Something about every device in your local network being visible from everywhere?
  • Some claim it obsoletes NAT?

I get that it’s probably too complicated a subject for an ELI5, so if there are good videos or resources explaining it in less than half an hour, feel free to share.

    Last time I checked the cloud flare radar about a month ago, it seems like about 38% of cloud flare traffic was occurring over IPv6 and Google commonly shows about 50% of their traffic over IPv6. So it is definitely growing, which is a good thing.
