   Hello Brian,

   There I only partly agree. Sure, many things are the same or similar in IPv4   
   and IPv6. But I also find that many newcomers to IPv6 have difficulty to get   
   rid of "IPv4 think". To let go of the idea that NAT is "security" and that   
   IPv6 is insecure because it does not use NAT is something that needs to sink   
   in. Also it takes a while to realize that there is no need to be greedy when   
   assigning addresses. There are 2^64 addresses in a subnet...

   There is more than one road that leads to Rome...
