What’s the main difference between IPv4 and IPv6? Which one should I use? Alternatively, if you want a sligh

IPv4 is like an old phone book—limited space, and we’re running out of numbers. IPv6 is like giving every grain of sand on Earth its own IP address.

The main difference between ipv4 and ipv6 isn’t just the number of addresses, though. IPv6 simplifies routing, has better multicast support, and no more NAT headaches.

Do you *need* to switch? Not urgently, but it’s coming. Try enabling ipv6 on your router and see if things break (they probably won’t).
