But a problem for me is that the ISP changes the prefix, it is "dynamic". Being the first time I actually see IPv6, I confuse the terms.
That the prefix changes means that I can not write entries in my hosts or dns files to use names instead (for IPv6).
And how is it different from IPv4? Either you pay your ISP for a fixed address (in this case fixed prefix) or you use dynamic DNS to associate current address with permanent name.
Well, it is an artificial scheme to get money from clients. With IPv4 the excuse was they didn't have one address for everybody. No such excuse now. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.4 x86_64 at Telcontar)
