If this catches on it'll have a big impact on web site analytics.
- dangrossman 15y agoHow so?
- IgorPartola 15y agoOne way would be that it would help identify individuals better since giant NATs will not be as popular. For example, I believe some IBM campuses are often all behind a single IP address.
- dedward 15y agoas nat was only a method of dealing with lack of address space, and not a security measure, hopefully nat will become very rare...

- pieter 15y agoNot really; most OSes now enable ipv6 privacy extensions by default, which means a client will connect with a different IP every hour or so.
- va_coder 15y agoAt least some of the software designed to detect malicious behavior assumes the ip is in ipv4 format. Example: I'm pretty sure fail2ban doesn't support ipv6, yet.
- justincormack 15y agoIs there a geo ip database for ipv6? If people are using ipv6 these things will start to matter. Though maybe analytics will be the last to move.
