The point of it is just that - you do not need to worry about subnetting, or running out of addresses. IPv6 wont be happening on any large scale for a few years yet for exactly what you just said, but when it does, it will completely change a lot of things. Think of everything having their own public IP address... your mobile phone, your computers at home, your car, your toaster(?!) -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
