There is something there, but mostly I think existing net admins try to map their existing IPv4 knowledge onto IPv6. That doesn't work very well. It needs to be treated as its own thing.

    I couldn't figure it until I turned my brain off and just read the documentation. I was thinking in IPv4 logic, because everyone had told me it was just "bigger IPv4" - it's not. It's so much more, and better.
