Don't forget things like the containers full of suitcase that they load
into airplanes. Or packing crates full of produce stored in a warehouse,
moved into a shipping container, loaded on a truck, transferred to a
ship, transferred to a train, loaded on another truck, and unloaded in
another warehouse cooler. Or medical devices with built-in computers
somewhat analogous to car engine computers, i.e. an insulin drip device
which needs to be docked at the pharmacy for data analysis before they
refill the insulin tank. Basically, IPv6 will be used for stuff which
was sci-fi a few years ago, not just the same old things as IPv4.
