Why do so many people seem to think there's a problem with IPv6. As I mentioned in another note, I have been running it for 6.5 years and not had a problem with it. I access many IPv6 sites and I wouldn't know they were IPv6, if I didn't use the ShowIP browser add-on. What happens when you try to access a site is you get a DNS record that may contain an IPv4 A record, an IPv6 AAAA record or both. If both IPv6 is preferred. Beyond that, there is no difference between using IPv4 & IPv6. In an earlier note, I provided this link, showing IPv4 & IPv6 performance were virtually the same: http://results.speedtest.xfinity.com/result/1457254644.png This test was run on Chromium. It wouldn't even run on Firefox. Clearly it's not IPv6 that's causing the problem, but some issue with Firefox, including perhaps the implementation of it in 42.2 or at least my installation of 42.2. I have even tried reinstalling Firefox. BTW, this is on an Intel i7 quad core CPU with hyperthreading and 16 GB of memory, so it isn't exactly an anemic computer. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
