IPv6 has been around for years. Why don't some people get with the program, instead of coming up with hacks to get around the address shortage.
I think a much easier question to answer is why do some people still believe the earth is flat. I gave up long ago asking my internet provider why they are not making a move to IPv6; their answer has always been that it is a complex thing to implement (or some nonsense like that). I think their real reason is they don't like the idea of handing out more than a single IP to any one computer, and the complexity of the issue is they cannot figure out how to do that with IPv6. They have a /32 address assignment from ARIN, serve a population of about half a million, and cannot figure out they have enough distinct _subnets_ to serve half the population of the planet. Yes, "why is the planet not flat" is much easier to figure out. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
