<div dir="ltr">By the time you get from your system to almost any end system across the internet your packets have traversed many different addressing rewrites and recodes. Consider for a moment the amount of site hiding that your average ISP does these days. There are few performance reasons to use V6 other than the ease of configuring the environment when it is all IP V6 and defaults to using it.<div><br></div><div>chris</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Apr 11, 2016 at 3:39 PM, Robert L.
