IPv6 Addresses Hopefully this is a question of curiosity rather than the description of a problem. I currently have three IPv6 addresses with similar beginnings and assume they are for the different mac addresses my iPhones hardware has. (wireless, cellular, Bluetooth?) and then I have a fourth with a diffferebt beginning and I also have an ipv4 address. given the nature of ipv6 protocols and how most new features seem to work on IPv6, I confess I’m starting to become alarmed by how little I know about why suddenly I have found five network addresses for my phone here. When do we as users have a reasonable concern? As a sidebar… Why can’t Apple use less alarming variable names when come on… it’s clear at times they are using variable names intentionally to freak people out. And then in the forums when people ask is this normal? They get a very smart Unix coder saying “what makes you think something is wrong?” Also.. why sometimes do I show IPv6 DNS entries and sometimes not? What does it mean when an IPv6 entry is a “feed”? here is my info: IPv6 Addresses: 2601:5c7:8300:~~~~:4ed:88a:7d0a:609 2601:5c7:8300:~~~~:1438:35:05:ceOf 2601:5c7:8300:~~~~:8667 fddd:48de:c682:4dff:1457:c401:97ea:634c my dns shows: 75.75.75.75 75.75.76.76 2001:558:feed::1 2001:558:feed::2 Note: the tildes were to hopefully make my info more generic. I am not really doing a whole lot to think I need this many network addresses.
