I know I'm responding to an old message here, but in case anyone finds this by searching the archive, I'd like to point out that Apple supports DHCPv6 in current AirPort, Time Capsule, Apple TV, iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad products. (As a policy matter, I can't say whether or when a release of Mac OS X will appear that supports DHCPv6, because engineering doesn't comment publicly about future products. Though, one expects that a pattern is readily apparent to anyone who wants to find one.) -- james woodyatt <j...@apple.com> member of technical staff, communications engineering -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPv6 working group mailing list ipv6@ietf.org Administrative Requests: https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipv6 --------------------------------------------------------------------
