I don't get how regular network works, ipv6 is like 10 times more confusing with all its prefixes and subnets

    I mean they dropped the parts of ip4 that are not used. They only multiplied the number of bits by 4, otherwise it's the exact same ideas. The confusing part might be that a device gets multiple addresses off the bat. Using decimal for 128 bits would have made the address even worse.
