Under 10 percent of IPv4 addresses are left

I wonder when people are going to start implementing IPV6

 

That doesn't mean your ISP has IPv6 support. I know my ISP Comcast doesn't support IPv6 yet.

EDIT:

I guess they are planing on fully implementing it by 2012

Hey Dls, it should be

Code:

ping 6 -n 5::1

Anyways, I'm not IPv6 ready as the pings failed, got 5 of them, even though I'm running W7 X64.:confused Router issue? More than likely it's PEBKAC.:-D

 

try that

 

cisco introduced ipv6 support on their routers back in 2001. A practical transition to ipv6 is going to have to start with ISP support for dual stacking. So it looks like if your OS, network equipment, and ISP support ipv6, youll have a chance to migrate or at least do serious planning for migration.

for fun: 340,282,366,920,938,463,463,374,607,431,768,211,456 (the ipv6 address space )

 

I know my router and main pc and linux server is IPv6 support

Do you know if XP has IPv6 Support?

 

I normally disable IPv6 but, as I have access to someone else's XP SP3 currently, I just added it and ...

It seems to give the expected replies ...

 

1. XP can use IPv6 addresses but it still translates and routes everything thorugh IPv4

2. IPv6 apparrently has some big security holes in comparison with IPv4, from what I can remember being taught at A levels.

 

I though IPv6 is not cross compatible with IPv4

 

Well, it might not be, but with Microsoft being Microsoft they seem to have managed it.

 

technically it isnt. if it wasnt for dual stacking, encapsulating ipv6 packets with ipv4 header, any ipv6 networks wouldnt be able to access ipv4 internet. with dual stacking, routers see the ipv4 header which has encapsulated the ipv6 packet and forwards accordingly.
