fun fact I forgot to mention: if you use ipv6 on cellphone connections, your site loads more than 2% faster and uses less than 98% as much electricity, due to avoiding the expensive and computation-hungry NAT process itself, as well as not needing to be physically routed to that big centralised server and back. So if you care about 2%, you'll use IPv6. On 6 November 2025 18:52:07 CET, nanog--- via NANOG <nanog@lists.nanog.org> wrote:
So you use header compression on all your links, right? No sense reducing your 1Gbps main uplink to 0.98Gbps. The checksum (removed in v6) is already 5% of each IP packet header. Speaking of headers I take it you're using SLIP instead of Ethernet? And you avoid TLS like the plague? I hope you replaced your 15W LED bulbs with 14.7W bulbs as well - your finance department will thank you. This is asinine.

The issue that 128bits (64+64) are wasted in every packet. Formally, for "privacy". Content providers are lathing from such form or privacy. But it is 2% of the internet capacity.
No one cares nowadays. The amount of other crap traffic (scrapers, AI, spam, DDoS attacks) is a real problem, the additional bits in the header aren't. The time of slow dialup connections where every bit matters, is over. _______________________________________________ NANOG mailing list https://lists.nanog.org/archives/list/nanog@lists.nanog.org/message/GQ5AQ75W... _______________________________________________ NANOG mailing list https://lists.nanog.org/archives/list/nanog@lists.nanog.org/message/3WJNGJSN...
