I also know that I cannot tell the difference between two IPv6 addresses because they all merge into an indiscernible blur inside my head
Back when we had to dial ipv4 addresses from memory
However I can see when any IPv6 begins with 2a02:12xx:: then it's Swisscom (biggest swiss ISP). But I can't remember any of their hundreds of IPv4 prefixes.
I have a feeling making it all CAPS would have made it just a bit easier.
That, or using monospace fonts for it everywhere.
I recite IPv6 addresses on my company networks from memory all the time. It helps that we got a bit lucky on our allocation. There are no letters.
Plus it's really easy to number subnets in a way that makes sense.
Ahh i knew u can do some fancy tricks to spell words inside ur ipv6 addresses apalrd did a good video on migrating to ipv6
