main reason to disable is i do not understand the ipv6 behavior, i actually only know its NOT only more address-space than ipv4 its much more, and i have no time to read all the stuff for ipv6 and so i do not know how to gave them static addresses, check / set firewall (iptables) for it etc.... so i decide better not use (at least at long it is possible).
Actually, IPv6 workes the same as IPv4. Beyond the much larger address space, there is little difference. These tend to be things designed to improve performance or management. For example things like fixed header size and no checksum at the IP level are designed to improve router performance. Others, such as router adverisements and neighbour soliciation bring management together under ICMP etc. There are also no broadcasts. However, as far as using it goes, TCP and UDP work on it as with IPv4 and it's transparent to applications. I strongly suggest you learn about IPv6, as that's where the world is moving. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
