As in what can I do with my IPV6 enabled electric kettle? Or microwave? > I know it's a very specific angle but I thin this topic is being > ignored at the moment. Actually, it sounds as if the angle is much too wide. To make it even wider: - "how could my electrical/electronical device benefit from having an Ethernet interface and an IP-address?" If there was something useful in ones kettle having an ethernet connection, it would probably already have it. After all, with NAT'ing there's no real shortage of IP-addresses. And perhaps we would already have K2K networks, with K2K proxies etc. Jokes aside - I could see benefits in my car having a wifi and/or GPRS receiver builtin. Automagic refresh of navigational data, MP3 music, automatic communication with the garage etc. It already does a lot of this over the phone and various radio-based networks, but this could be simplified tremendously. The IP-number would be handed out and possibly also follow the license plate. /Per Jessen, Zürich _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
