It is not our decision to make. It is our providers (the ISPs) who must make that move.
No, you can make the move right now, the same way I did. You use a service called a "tunnel broker". With a tunnel broker, you set up your computer or firewall to use 6in4 tunnelling. This adds a 20 byte IPv4 header to the IPv6 packet, for transport over the existing IPv4 network. The tunnel broker then removes that header and puts your IPv6 packet on the IPv6 internet. You can do this with Linux, Windows, Mac and other. There are also many routers that support this. Cisco routers certainly do, as do certain D-link models. I believe the Apple Airports do as well. Also, given Cisco's support for IPv6, I wouldn't be surprised to see some Linksys models with it to. It can also be used with the various WRT models that can be reflashed with (IIRC) OpenWRT. My home network, including DNS is set up to always use IPv6 when available. Even my Google Nexus One can use IPv6, when connected to my WiFi. All my IPv6 capable devices have their own IPv6 address, which can be reached from the internet. While I have an IPv6 subnet on my home network, I can also run the 6in4 tunnelling client in single address mode, on my notebook, when away from home. BTW, my firewall is OpenSUSE 11.3 running on an old computer. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
