What is fast IPv6 or IPv4? Need help understanding the speed differences!
Hey folks, been wondering about this for a while—what is fast IPv6 or IPv4 in real-world use? I’ve heard IPv6 *should* be faster cuz of simpler headers and no NAT, but then some ppl say IPv4 is still quicker cuz of better-optimized routes and older infra.
Like, my ISP barely supports IPv6, so I’m stuck guessing. Anyone actually tested this?
Also, does IPv6’s bigger address space even matter for speed, or is it just hype?
Kinda confused tbh. Share your experiences!
(And pls no “it depends” answers—give me some real talk 😆)
