Ok, there are millions of addresses in the LAN, but for example when you send an email that IP is known. A determined attacker wanting to attack me will find out where my printer is.
You don't send an email to an IP address. You send it to an account on a server. Also, with IPv6, a LAN has a gazillion addresses (2^64 or 18.4 billion, billion).
Why do you need such a massive subnet? Security through obscurity? I'd rather have separate independent subnets with a DMZ. I don't want my light bulbs to ssh in to my desktop. I've always wondered why IPv6 is /64 by default? Seems like a waste. Regards, Lew
