Who wanna bet that P1 will only give you a /128?
If only they will give out a /56 at least...

yeah..so you want to continue watch porn, better use ipv4 behind triple NAT. sure police will not find you.

i see... i take it that is your plan then.

Or you could like... change your v6 IP between every web page request

1. That's a loooong line of logic with a lot of assumptions made. Applying Occam's Razor, the simpler way to think of it is that IPv6 and IPv4 are going to ride over the same layer-2/layer-1- it is this channel that determines congestion. Having said that, there *will* be a difference in routes between IPv4 and IPv6, since there's no practical way that all IPv4 BGP arrangements are going to be matched 1-1 isomorphically in IPv6. But it's not right to categorically assume that one will be less congested than the other.

2. At the ISP I subscribed to, they gave out dynamically assigned leases, citing operational reasons. I'll paraphrase what I can remember. Consider this - if you have multiple B-RASes serving the same subscriber footprint, as an upstream router how do you determine which B-RAS to forward a packet to? To do that, you'll need a route to each customer's static prefix - and for a provider the size of TM that's literally millions of routes, so I don't think they'll do this.

Alternatively, if each B-RAS were assigned its own /48 and gives out (dynamic) /64s in its own range, an upstream core router will only need to know one route per B-RAS.

1) We don't need even to consider much and make lots of assumptions. Every TM Streamyx/Unifi users have already come to much conclusion that even with IPv4, they are getting variable results with different ranges.Even myself I've got a range that day which was so crappy, it was not even getting me anywhere: 174.145.174.x. From local/Singaporean server latency to speed, everything was like crawling.

Why IPv6 should give a bit of hope? There are still less users today and chances that you're going to get the "premium-like" ip which most Streamyx users are on the look out for.

2) My stance is still that privacy is every individual's basic rights. With all the scrutinization of social networking sites and blogs going on in this country, the trend is not going to make any fears by the public subside. Of course authorities are not going to make it obvious with their surveilance, who doesn't work along "the wolf in sheep skin concept"? Today it's all about deception and hideous motives.

In attempt of this today people study hard  and gain as much knowledge as they can so that they can prevent loopholes as a line of defense and at the same time try to find ways of circumventing an unknown problem(exploit).

Basic human nature in their attempts to equal God.

duuuuuddddeeeee,

you know how i know you are bullshitting?

when you start putting God into your argument.

Ok both of you are going offtopic, knock it off please...

Well last I checked, IPv6 doesn't make you declare your assets in the packet header.  Please explain convincingly your analogy between them?

As for IP addresses letting you be tracked to your individual device through the MAC address, consider this. I've made a few forum posts here recently with IPv6 and out-of-the-box Windows 7. Vista's behavior is the same AFAIK, not sure about XP.

These are my IPs:

2405:4600:3004:0:5e8:764e:6c64:88ba
2405:4600:3004:0:78bc:d939:b11e:50fb
2405:4600:3004:0:e962:c9a9:8620:d8a
2405:4600:3004:0:f52e:9644:9144:45a7
2405:4600:3004:3:b091:165b:3c98:db0c

Questions:

1) Can you derive my MAC address?
2) Why does my IP keep changing throughout the week?

The division of IPv6 addresses into distinct topology and interface identifier portions raises an issue new to IPv6 in that a fixed portion of an IPv6 address (i.e., the interface identifier) can contain an identifier that remains constant even when the topology portion of an address changes (e.g., as the result of connecting to a different part of the Internet).  In IPv4, when an address changes, the entire address (including the local part of the address) usually changes.  It is this new issue that this document addresses.

A more troubling case concerns mobile devices (e.g., laptops, PDAs, etc.) that move topologically within the Internet. Whenever they move (in the absence of technology such as mobile IP [MOBILEIP]), they form new addresses for their current topological point of attachment.  This is typified today by the "road warrior" who has Internet connectivity both at home and at the office.  While the node's address changes as it moves, however, the interface identifier contained within the address remains the same (when derived from an IEEE Identifier).  In such cases, the interface identifier can beused to track the movement and usage of a particular machine.

For example, a server that logs usage information together with a source addresses, is also recording the interface identifier since it is embedded within an address.  Consequently, any data-mining technique that correlates activity based on addresses could easily be extended to do the same using the interface identifier.  This is of particular concern with the expected proliferation of next-generation network-connected devices (e.g.PDAs, cell phones, etc.) in which large numbers of devices are inpractice associated with individual users (i.e., not shared).  Thus, the interface identifier embedded within an address could be used to track activities of an individual, even as they move topologically within the internet.

I see why you're thinking that way. You think that $ISP will set aside dedicated copper/wavelengths for IPv6 traffic. I think they'll dual-stack existing links, so congestion that affects an IPv4 user will also affect an IPv6 user traversing the same path.

All these will put the end user at great risk of exposure if they are NOT properly INFORMED and EDUCATED about EUI-64 implementation of IPv6.

It's not I "think", it's by observation and experience.

Why is Streamyx assigning some unusable range of IPs around which differs greatly to some regular ones?
So much that they give awfully bad results to certain server locations and are not standardized?

Hey not fair^^
How come I can't post twice like you above but instead my posts got merged?

What everyone should be afraid of is RIR policy that make ISPs that assign prefixes larger than /64 to their customers to also SWIP that customer information (usually billing address at the minimum) into the ISP's net-block WHOIS data.

As I prefer to use vanity IPv6 address with fancy reverse DNS entries (maybe wkkay can made it to be shown next to the pale blue IPv6 text?), this mean I have to disable the privacy extension (via netsh), disable router solicitation, set up other stateful config in my wireless adapter to 1, then set up a static IPv6 address and add a route to the wireless adapter. See how much work I have to do just to let other people data mining me? My postal address has already been published anyway for the /48 I used here...

Microsoft truly make using IPv6 by other means that isn't SLAAC to be difficult to the end user.

As for other people on the network that has default Windows installation, all I have to do is to advertise a prefix with radvd and everything will work just fine with them. They probably doesn't even know their connection is IPv6-enabled.

1. Nah, I prefer not to open a new can of worms. Aside privacy (as there are others who might not want it), slow reverse DNS stalling the webserver is another problem.

2. You can do that from the adapter IPv6 properties can't you? This one:
