No, you can make the move right now, the same way I did. You use a service called a "tunnel broker".
What for? What do I gain? All sites I use are on IPv4. Look, my printer has IPv6. I can not even connect to it on that! It could be well that I am clueless. It says: TCP/IP(v6) Status: Ready Link-Local address: FE80::21E:BFF:FE08:4CCB Stateless (from Router): Not configured Stateful (from DHCPv6): Not configured But if I write in firefox: http://FE80::21E:BFF:FE08:4CCB I'm refered to a google page instead of my printer. So, linux is not IPv6 aware >:-) Yes, I'm playing thick-head here. Just to show you that I have no idea of IPv6 - and I'm a trained network installer, I have a Cisco diploma somewhere >:-p (we saw nothing of IPv6 in the training)
With a tunnel broker, you set up your computer or firewall to use 6in4 tunnelling. This adds a 20 byte IPv4 header to the IPv6 packet, for transport over the existing IPv4 network. The tunnel broker then removes that header and puts your IPv6 packet on the IPv6 internet. You can do this with Linux, Windows, Mac and other. There are also many routers that support this.
Which I would have to pay. :-( No, thanks.
Cisco routers certainly do, as do certain D-link models.
Cisco for a home ADSL? Way over the roof in price. No, let my ISP do the change, they will tell me what I have to do. And possibly they will pay for the change, being their "fault" >:-) - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
