Around 50% of internet packets are IPv6. It's not the future. It's now the present, and IPv4 is the past.

It's a shame they still have ports in IPv6, but I can see why: imagine having to ARP (IPv6 calls it ND) every connection separately. At least you can just allocate another privacy address if you need more than 65535 concurrent connections to the same destination.
