My problem with IPv6 is that my ISP (Xfinity) won't give me a static prefix, so every now and again it changes.

Unlike IPv4, my LAN addresses include the prefix, so every time they change it, all my LAN addresses change.

Combined with the lack of DHCP6 support in many devices, this means reverse DNS lookups from IP to hostname can't be done, making identifying devices by their IP essentially impossible.
