I guess my biggest obstacle is understanding the addresses. They seem like an unnecessary complication. It's going to become much harder to do a lot of tasks.
Yes, I understand that it will make switching more efficient and whatnot due to the new data in the address, but I still don't like it. Find a way to express it that isn't three miles long. You could cover most of the useful address space using 12 digits if you did full alphanumeric. A4DY.99DP.1OBM.QQ47 = 25% of 64-bit address space (4.6 million trillion addresses). Instead, we have this mess: 2001:4F6A
9D8:FFB3:0000:0000:0000:000A

It's hard enough asking a user for their IP address as it is. You can tell IPv6 wasn't created by people that have to deal with it all day on the administration/support side.
