Seth, What sort of ISP do your "not technically inclined" parents have that offers native ipv6? :-) -- Josh Smith KD8HRX email/jabber: juicewvu@gmail.com phone: 304.237.9369(c) On Thu, Feb 3, 2011 at 11:27 AM, Seth Mattinen <sethm@rollernet.us> wrote:

There's clearly two things that need to be done:
1) Major infrastructure (ie: backhaul, corporate, ISP gateway) need to be upgraded/configured to support IPv6 2) Edge networks need to start to hand out IPv6 addresses and name servers. I think it would be great if providers started handing out IPv6 addressed name servers when an IPv4 client does a dhcp renew, etc.
Well, I'm doing my part by turning up native IPv6 at my parent's house this week or next. They are not technically inclined and I'm confident it won't be a problem. ;)
