    I literally just got the notifiation from Verizon today that IPV6 was now supported by their network… Ubiquiti asked me if I wanted to enable it, my response is basically not until I understand it…

    Then again, it took me 20 years to really understand IPv4, so it’s likely I’m going to be decaying before I get v6. ;-)

      my response is basically not until I understand it…

      That was probably a good call, firewalling and (lack of) DHCP especially is quite different so just trying to use v4 concepts on v6 addresses/networks is almost a guaranteed bad time

      Have faith in yourself. I bet you could get things in a few hours with focused study if you have a deep understanding of IPv4.

          Ok. Then a week of passive absorbing at worst. You got it. IPv6 is more complicated but not that much more complicated. You already know IPv4.
