the one thing I can't quite tell is whether pppd will support ipv4 and ipv6 at the same time. I also don't know if my provider supports that, but at least I was able to verify that they do support IPv6.
PPP is a level 2 protocol and supports whatever you can do with an ethernet card. It is a IETF standard for providing packet based networking over a serial line. I have set up PPP links over T1 or SHDSL lines and the interface is simply an ethernet port, just like a switch etc., and will handle anything an ethernet switch or bridge can handle. The problem is that consumer level routers don't support IPv6, at least in routing & NAT functions. O'Reilly has a good book about PPP. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
