Assuming you mean can any existing IPv4 host or network run IPv6 as well, then yes, plenty of networks already do. For example many academic network backbones are dual-stack around the world. In terms of site networking, we have dual-stack in production usage here for some time (various systems and services... web, DNS, MX, etc) with as yet no ill effects. It just seems the natural way to both prepare for fuller IPv6 deployment and gain experience in its operation. There's a fair amount of info on related topics at www.6net.org. -- Tim/::1 -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPv6 working group mailing list ipv6@ietf.org Administrative Requests: https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipv6 --------------------------------------------------------------------
