   Yes, I have recently been experimenting with IPv6.   
      
   IPv6 uses: Static Addresses, Link-Local, DHCPv6, Router Advertisements,    
   and SLAAC. Proving me with multiple, often random, IPv6 addresses. This    
   totally broke my IP rule based routing.   
      
   Unlike my Linux machines, My Android devices take a whole IPv6 block    
   (prefix delegation). I think I'll change all my Linux hosts to this too.    
   I quite like the protection of random addresses, but want them    
   constrained to a recognisable range for each host.   
      
   Some websites fail, some apt repos fail under IPv6.   
      
   IPv6 seems like a world of pain.
