Why?
I know absolutely nothing about this, but why can't the ISP simply log and
store the info it receives?[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Wait. Your toaster would have a unique IP address? Or
does it get a random too? If not, wouldn't someone
then be able to know when you are at home making
toast? This is getting really creepy.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

One thing I'm looking forward to is ISPs allocating static blocks of IPv6
addresses to customers, getting away from the dynamic allocation or NAT common
on IPv4.
As an admin of another forum, this would be very good for spam control. While a
user could change their IP at will within the allocated range, it would still be
within a standard size block identified with a specific user, not likely to be
used by another customer of the ISP any time soon.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

One thing I've noticed is that while my computers use random addresses, my
Android based phone and tablet use MAC based addresses.

Under IPv6, you are assigned a 64 bit prefix, you supply the remaining 64 bits.
So you can allocate unique IPv6 128 bit addresses to all your devices.
Randomising the last 64 bits does not change your 64 bit prefix.
So all those random IPv6 addresses still point to you![ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
