IPv6 is all well and good until you need to read of an IP address for a call or write it down if you don't have copy-paste UI access.

Then you will pine for the days of four octets.

Most addresses do not use full character lenght. Your localhost is ::1 for example. Local network can be configured for shorter addresses.

I get twice long addresses over poking the NAT and doing several reverse proxies as for now.
