i can see from the list of issues covered in the novell CLP 11 practicum that IPv6 is part of that. so how many people here are using IPv6 on a serious basis in their IT infrastructure? not just dabbling but having it as a fundamental part of their networking already? and why? did you really get to a point where IPv4 simply couldn't do the job anymore?
I don't expect you'll inviting into a mail-bomb. It's probably too early to find people "heavily" in to IPv6. On the web-frontend, most work seems to be done (servers, browsers) Same for dhcp, dns, ssh, net-tools like iptables, ping, ipsec. But there is still much left to be done: -Database (mysql might support it in 6.x ^-) -voip (Asterisk was (!) supposed to support it in 1.6.2) -NFS (experimental in version 4 afaicr) -Torrent supports its, but there aren't many v6-capable clients Graphical (web) config tools are still expecting four fields of three digits separated by dots. No clue about Samba, ldap, iscsi via IPv6 So advocating V6: yes, heavily using: not yet. hw -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
