John.



IPv6 is been rolled out on quite a few networks, I think the main
problem is end user ISP's not rolling out, if more did then we would see
more Consumer grade routers get updates to support it.



I only knew of the DNS root servers but the wiki page also says Google 
and Facebook have ipv6 interfaces available. The migration will be 
painful for ISPs and after a period of dual working they'll have to bite 
the bullet and turn off ipv4!

AFAIK, I don't think mine supports IPv6 or OpenWRT. A Netgear DG834PN
modem router... it's served me well though, and given that it was a
round £100 with two free USB wireless adaptors and all the cables
needed, it wasn't a bad deal.
The only down-side I have with Netgear stuff is that their wireless
adaptors don't seem to have any uniform versioning system...

About Vint Cerf saying that the Uk will run out of IP (V4) addresses by
2012, I wondered  if my Router would support IPV6 on the Internet Side.
Will yours?

I use a 3Com Wireless router.

I would think most routers will need a firmware update to support ipv6

~Dan

To my knowledge, none of them do. I don't think any ISP anywhere does,
for that matter.
Switching from v4 to v6 isn't going to be a simple matter - most
end-users won't understand, and will probably be left with limited
online capabilities unless something's done to keep older systems
backward-compatible.



AAISP do - http://www.aaisp.co.uk/
I think Entanet do as well - http://noc.enta.net/ipv6-over-xdsl/-  
http://www.enta.net/


incomplete list - https://www.sixxs.net/wiki/IPv6_Enabled_Service_Providers

Looks like there is a database of IPv6 enabled hardware -
