One feature that users might appreciate is mobility. For example, I have a Nexus One smart phone. It can get it's internet access via 3G connection to my cell phone carrier, but if it's within range of a WiFi network that it's configured for, it will switch to that. So, if I'm doing something, such as voice over IP, while walking up to my home, I'll be going through my cell carrier. However, as soon as I'm within range of my home WiFi, the phone will switch connections and kill my VoIP call. With IPv6 mobility, that won't happen.
You mean that the device will have its own IP address regardless of where it is connected to - which means that several routing tables in several places have to be updated to know where your gadget is at the moment. Ie, large or huge routing tables.
No, just more dynamic ones. If the sky is not quite yet falling due to the limitations of ipv4, neither is it due to the differences of ipv6. -- bkw -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
