Even if it was only 127.0.0.0/8, it would only delay the inevitable. IPv4 simply cannot meet the needs of today, let alone the future. The more people try to dream up schemes to extend IPv4, the worse the problem will get. Move to IPv6. I have!
It is not our decision to make. It is our providers (the ISPs) who must make that move.
And not one provider, but all, at the same time.
Nah, that's not necessary - many providers have already started, but far from all. (I haven't checked, but last I looked, there was a distinct lack of IPv6-capable CPE, eg. xDSL boxes). For bridging the gap during the transitional period, there are two or three options (4to6, 6to4 etc). -- Per Jessen, Zürich (-1.8°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I use 6in4 tunnelling to a tunnel broker. Works well. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I did a host -v suse.de, and saw no IPv6 address. Which could be because there is none, or because I'm clueless and I have to type some other command. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.

dig suse.de aaaa shows no IPv6 addresses. dig www.switch.ch aaaa shows an IPv6 address. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (0.8°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

dig suse.de aaaa
shows no IPv6 addresses.
Neither opensuse.org. So our beloved distro would not work if we put YOU on v6 :-p

shows an IPv6 address.
One :-) - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.

I didn't suggest you go IPv6 only, but dual stack instead. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
