IPv4 came to rescue us from the IP-less connections of the past (dial up bbs anyone?). It was good but like everything else it has to die.

Looking forward to IPv6 with enough addresses for all our toilets, coffee makers and lamps.

I'm all setup with an IPv6 tunnel at home.

Just waiting for Comcast to support IPv6 natively.
