Is the hugh address pool of IPv6 a soltution for Identities in IoT(tbd)?
Public classic IP-addresses (IPv4 addresses) are a rare resource. So the IT industry developed various approches to deal with this situation. Mechanisms like "Network Address Translation (NAT)" or "Sub-netting" were developed to use address ranges in an optimal way. Access provider use IP-address pools and "re-use" IP-addresses by dynamic assigment. IP-address problem is not new. It is an issue for many years. Recently the problem seems to get worth because bilions of new devices appear with the Internet of Things. Not all but many of them need also an IP-Address.
The hugh address room of IPv6 seems to solve this problem. And moreover sometimes IPv6 is seen as a universal address for the IoT. So why not give every IoT device a IPv6 address?
