Thank for the backup! IP, be it V4 or V6, is a packet switching protocol that is completely ignorant of the intended usage of the data being carried in its "packet." It has an address it came from and an address it needs to go to. So it bounces happily along from A to B. Delivery is its
only agenda. It doesn't
decide to contact a store--or anything else for that matter. IPv6 doesn't change
how the internet (or an internet connected device) works. It just gives the internet more endpoints to connect.
Solicitous, I agree that when it happens, there will be a very long period of running in parallel that minimizes the confusion.
