However IPv6 has many privacy issues. IPv6 address space uses an ID (indentifier) derived from your hardware or phone. "That allows your packets to be traced back to your PC or cell-phone" said <censored>. <censored> fears abuse as a hardware ID wired into the ipv6 protocol can be used to determine the manufacturer, make and model number, and value of the hardware equipment being used by the end user.
...uhm, and? What is the real difference with a IPv4 address and privacy? You can tell as much (more or less) with a port scan to a IPv4 address...and someone will always track the "ID" (I guess that is what I call IP address). If we are talking about the EUI64, that will disclose the vendor but hardly the make and model number.... - kurtis -
