Ipv6 is broken for those that want control over their home networks thanks to Google and terribly written RFCs.
All that was needed was an extra byte or two of address space, but no, some high and mighty evangelicals in their ivory towers built something that few people understand 30 years later. Their die hard fans are sure that this will be the year of ipv6. The Year of Linux on the Desktop will come 10 years before the year of ipv6.
What did Google do? Just curious as I'm not into home networking
They refuse to support DHCP6 and will only use SLAAC on Android devices.
Do they only use SLAAC because it's easier to tie devices to MACs and therefore identities?
