The fine folks at NetBSD really need to update their IPv6 FAQ. That stuff looks like the IPv6 marketing spiel from 1997 or so that has long ago been proven ... 'optimistic'.


Rather than jumping down someone's throat here, are these assumptions rampant (or even accurate)?

Unfortunately, you still see the same sort of grandiose claims being made at non-technical (particularly governmental policy-related) events. As for accuracy, IPv6 does provide more address space, the headers are simpler, and stateful auto-config is often provided if you want it. 3 out of 7...
