It's coming. [...] So, yes, IPv6 is something that has to be prepared for.
But my ISP does not give it to home clients, as far as I know. I heard a rumour that you can request (and pay) for it. Another rumour says that they are betatesting it. The only improvement is that the routers they issue now are prepared for it. Searching for information about this, it turns out that when the article (I was just reading) was written (2014), the government tax site had two IPv4 addresses and one IPv6 address: ****.1.cdn.telefonica.com has IPv6 address :: Ie, localhost. Apparently, Linux has a preference to IPv6 when available, so the connection for people using IPv6 and Linux, failed. LOL. (http://www.linuxtecnico.es/2014/06/telefonica-no-sabe-de-ipv6.html) The article also comments something very interesting for "bind": filter-aaaa-on-v4 yes; which is the solution to something I asked for time ago, I think. I have to try it. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
