  And we’re still stuck on IPv4. Going to IPv6 would do a lot more than 1Gbps connections would.

    And what do you think it would do for you?

      • Better routing performance
      • No longer designing protocols that jump through hoops to deal with lack of direct addressing

        Sorry to be the one to mention, but NAT is here to stay. Even if IPv6 has enough address space for everything to have a public address it’s still good security measure to have local area network that has a firewalled exit node. Especially considering how IoT has become popular and just how little people care about security of same devices.
