      Got this link from a friend - interesting reading about how IPv6 now should be considered mandatory and the support for it should be as good or better than IPv4. IPv4 should be considered optional.

      Seems like they really want to get the whole net ready now.

        It is not so strange as it sounds. If the choice is 4 through layers of nat and indirection. Or unencumbered 6. Sounds like the better deal.

          I don't think it sounded strange :-) Just found it interesting that they are now starting a push and saying the norm now should be IPv6 and IPv4 is just and option. The logic is clear enough, the problem has always been when they would do something like this.
