Yes, IPv6 gives every site a lot of more possibilities. And in IPv6 each NIC can have multiple IPv6 addresses, without using aliasing which is needed for IPv4. If you want to allocate 30 IPv6 addresses to one adapter, you may do so very easily. Just use 'ip -6 addr add<ipv6 addr> dev eth0'
Is there any difference in efficiency in how well the NIC hardware filters the assigned addresses? What about multicast - is there a good place to look for documentation?
