US Has More IPv6 Eyeballs Than Asia, Because of Apple

Posted by timothy on from the yummy-apple dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Google has been checking to see who's using IPv6. According to the company's tracking, half of all IPv6-capable systems seen by Google are Macs, helping the US land in fifth place in percentage of IPv6 users world wide, ahead of China and Japan."

    It's almost the same thing, just no NAT! Damn you people are fucking morons..

    Without a NAT, how does a "NoNAT router" know what public IP range to give via DHCP (or other means) to Joe User's WinXP/Mac box, BEFORE it manages to get that public IP range from the ISP?

    A public IPv4/IPv6 range that needs to be preconfigured on the router, is one more thing for the ISP and router manufacturers to deal with and one more thing for Joe User to screw up or have trouble with.

    Go think about that.

    My guess is you can't be a fucking moron since you're a slashdotter.
