Hello Tony, I guess this is the best time to know more about IPV6 and how it inter-operate with IPv4. Not too many people know about IPV6 though it has been around for ages. Some questions:
1. If I have a web server and want to support IPV6, I need ISP support for that? I need to request IPV6 IP from ISP? Can I have both IPV6 and IPV4 address on my server? What about routing? Do I need to have IPV6 next hop? What about DNS? 2. In my local network, I use Class C IPs (192.168.*) is there an equivalent in IPV6? or do I even need to do that? If anyone can point me to a nice literature, thanks. On Mon, Feb 7, 2011 at 10:44 AM, Antonio Rabena <[email protected]> wrote: > IPv4 will still exist for the next 10 years I think.
