Hello All!
The only reason for creating IPv6 was the concern that the number of available
addresses would run out.
So far this seems not to be valid although at some point it may well become
true.
In the UK as far as I know, no ISP is using IPv6 and will not provide such
addresses - though at some point this 'might' change.
For me on all the different systems here, all have turned of / removed IPv6
drivers for other utilities etc.
I have not found a reason at this time to consider any such processing as the
ISP's do not.
Now before some one says that is because the UK is Island based - not so as the
v4 seems to so far cover the requirements and needs of all users.
How ever with the rate of new illegal immigrants arriving that may well change
but I suspect not even allowing for the fact of most sites (homes and business)
use dynamic addresses.
Do not know if that also applies to the European continent or for that matter
Northern America region.
So, who really cares,
Vincent
