By operating exclusively over IPv6, the network benefits from simplified packet processing and source-controlled fragmentation via Path MTU Discovery, eliminating in-network fragmentation and middle-box interference. The absence of Network Address Translation restores true end-to-end connectivity between nodes, reducing congestion and latency while enabling efficient multicast-based data distribution. IPv6’s vast address space allows globally unique node identities, and its native support for IPsec provides a foundation for secure, authenticated communication at the network layer.
