Is there any clear understanding of what "supporting IPv6" means?
I recently was told by a vendor that they "supported IPv6", and then when I went >to go configure an IPv6 address, it was, of course, IPv4. I asked how they >supported that, and they said that they "supported it" because they could "pass >IPv6" traffic.
Well...duh!
Yeah this seems to be a common problem. Vendors who have equipment that does not support a full IPv6 feature set comparable to the IPv4 functionality usually do the "it'll pass Ipv6" in which case my 10Mb/s hub from 1996 is IPv6 ready... Then there are vendors who offer a good IPv6 feature set but who only have IPv4 for the management. Some DPI vendors spring to mind for this. So.. caveat emptor! -- Leigh Porter UK Broadband ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.
