Description
Probably the most prominent change that IPv6 introduces in the semantics of internet protocol applications is the need to *always* deal with multiple addresses (possibly both IPv4 and IPv6) associated to each network endpoint. A quick overview of how and where addresses are categorised, ordered and preferred is presented, both from the system administrator and the developer viewpoint. A few not too obvious practical consequences of RFC3484 are also shown, in an attempt to tame its subtleties.
